Answer:

Polygon Y's area is one ninth (1/9) of Polygon X's area

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

In this problem

Let

z-----> the scale factor

a-----> Polygon Y's area

b----> Polygon X's area

z^{2}=\frac{a}{b}

we have

z=\frac{1}{3}

substitute

(\frac{1}{3})^{2}=\frac{a}{b}

\frac{1}{9}=\frac{a}{b}

a=\frac{1}{9}b

therefore

Polygon Y's area is one ninth (1/9) of Polygon X's area

When Meghan started working, she was paid $85 each week.

After a six-month probationary period, her pay was increased by 20%.

The initial payment = $85

When her pay was increased by 20%.

So for number one you would start with parentheses (-2 x 4) and that would get you -8 and then you would forget about the parentheses and drop everything else down and now the problem would be -8 x 3 and remember anytime you have a number by parentheses it’s multiplication and that dot by the parentheses also stands for multiplication so -8 x 3 would get you -24. You could also look at it as positive 8 x 3 and that would get you 24 and then you could just add that negative sign to the 24
