Answer:

<em>Area of polygon D = 10 square units</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Polygon <em>C </em>has an area of 40 square units.

It is scaled with a scale factor of \frac{1}2 to form a new polygon D.

<u></u>

<u>To find:</u>

The area of polygon D = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

When any polygon is scaled to half, then all the sides of new polygon are half of the original polygon.

And the area becomes one-fourth of the original polygon.

Let us consider this by taking examples:

  • First of all, let us consider a right angled triangle with sides <em>6, 8 and 10 units.</em>

Area of a right angled triangle is given by:

A = \dfrac{1}{2} \times Base \times Height\\\Rightarrow A = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 8 = 24\ sq\ units

If scaled with a factor \frac{1}{2}, the sides will be 3, 4 and 5.

New area, A':

A' =\dfrac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 4 = 6\ sq\ units = \dfrac{1}4\times A

i.e. Area becomes one fourth.

  • Let us consider a rectangle now.

Sides be 8 and 10 units.

Area of a rectangle, A = Length \times Width = 8 \times 10 = 80 sq units.

Now after scaling, the sides will be 4 and 5 units.

New Area, A' = 4 \times 5 =20 sq units

So, \bold{A' = \frac{1}4 \times A}

Now, we can apply the same in the given question.

\therefore Area of polygon D = \bold{\frac{1}{4}}\times Area of polygon C

Area of polygon D = \bold{\frac{1}{4}}\times 40 = <em>10 sq units</em>

Pyramid A is a square pyramid with a base side length of 18 inches and a height of 9 inches. Pyramid B has a volume of 3,136 cub
seraphim [82]

Answer:

322.63%

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of square pyramid = 1/3a²h

a = base side length ; h = height

Volume of pyramid A :

a = 18 ; h = 9

V = 1/3*18²*9

V = 18² * 3

V = 972 in³

Volume of pyramid B = 3136 in³

Volume of pyramid B / Volume of pyramid A

(3136 / 972) * 100% = 322.63%
