a) find <span>the ratio of the perimeters </span><span> the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale factor </span>scale factor=26/6-----> 13/3 the answer Part a) is the ratio of the perimeters is 13/3
b) find <span>the ratio of the areas of the larger figure to the smaller figure we know that area larger figure=[scale factor]</span>²*area smaller figure scale factor²=area larger figure/area smaller figure
the ratio of the areas of the larger figure to the smaller figure is equal to scale factor squared scale factor²=(13/3)²----> 169/9
Eight and eighty-four hundredths in standard decimal form is 8.84 because 8 is the whole number, the 8 on the right of the decimal is in the tenths place, and 4 is in the hundredths place. :)
