Question

A rectangle is reduced by a scale factor of One-fourth.

Answer 1

The ratio of the area of the smaller rectangle to the area of the larger rectangle is 1:16

Area of a rectangle

The formula for calculating the area of a rectangle is expressed as:

A = length * width

For the large triangle

Area = 16 * 12

Area of large triangle = 192 square units

For the smaller rectangle

Area = 4 * 3

Area. of small rectangle = 12 square units

Ratio = 12/192 = 1:16

Hence the ratio of the area of the smaller rectangle to the area of the larger rectangle is 1:16
