Answer:

Correct choice is D

Step-by-step explanation:

If two similar figures have the coefficient of similarity k, then the ratio between the area of these figures is equal to k^2.

You are given corresponding lengths in two similar figures, then

k=\dfrac{15}{20}=\dfrac{3}{4}.

Therefore,

\dfrac{A_{small}}{A_{large}}=\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)^2=\dfrac{9}{16}

and

A_{small}=\dfrac{9}{16}\cdot A_{large}=\dfrac{9}{16}\cdot 64=9\cdot 4=36\ cm^2.

The area are in the ratio of the squares of corresponding sides.

That is  15^2 : 20^2  = 225:400

so the area of the smaller figure = (225/400) * 64

= 0.5625 * 64

= 36 cm^2  (answer)

k0ka [10]

  • <em>I am assuming the picture is of a stained glass window in the shape of a semicircle</em>.

Answer: 7.71 feet.

Step-by-step explanation: <em>The formula for finding the circumference of a circle is \frac{1}{2} π × d + d.</em>

The diameter is 3 feet. Substitute this into the equation:

\frac{1}{2} π × 3 + 3.

Solve -

3.14 × 3 = 9.42

\frac{1}{2} of 9.42 = 4.71

4.71+3 = 7.71

Round -

The answer is already rounded.

Hope this helped!~
