The correct answer would be Choice B: 4 square units.
When the scale factor is 1/5, that means the lengths of the sides are 1/5 of the original size. So instead of having a base of 20 and height of 10, the new triangle has a base of 4 and a height of 2.
The area of the triangle is: (4 x 2) / 2 = 4
Answer:
1) $283.50
2) 65.21 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1)
We know that a spool of ribbon holds 6.75 meters.
A craft club buys 21 spools.
So, the total length of ribbon bought is:

Each meter costs $2. So, the total cost will be:

Part 2)
A spool holds 6.75 meters.
We bought 21 of them, so that total length we have is 141.75 meters.
The club used 76.54 meters.
So, the amount of ribbon that is left is represented by:

Subtract:

So, 65.21 meters of ribbon will be left.
