the correct answer is a, because a vertical angle is made of 2 intercepting lines.
Because we are dealing with area, we have to square the difference of the 2 polygons.40 / 15 =
<span>
<span>
<span>
2.6666666667
</span>
</span>
</span>
<span>
<span>
<span>
2.6666666667^2 = </span></span></span>
<span>
<span>
<span>
7.1111111111
</span></span></span>
<span><span><span>
</span>
</span>
</span>
So, the 40 yard polygon has <span>
<span>
7.1111111111</span>times the area of the 15 yard polygon.

155/(2 1/2)=62
Sam drives at 62 m/h
62*4=248
Sam would drive 248 miles in 4 hours.
Hope this helps :)
Hello,
We know that if we make the same operation on both sides, we don't affect the equation:
For example:

Do you see? we add 2 on both sides and we don't affect the equality
We can do the same with the multiplication, for example
4=4 (i'll multiply both sides by 1/2)

Now, we do exactly the same in your excercise:
