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)

A) You can have

1-1; 1-2; 1-3; 1-4; 1-5; 1-6; 2-2; 2-3; 2-4; 2-5; 2-6; 3-3; 3-4; 3-5; 3-6; 4-4; 4-5; 4-6; 5-5; 5-6; 6-6

Those are all possible outcomes

B) Only 6 of the options include at least one three

The fraction is: 6/21 or simplified 2/7

C) To find this answer we need a percentage

to find that...

6/21 and ?/100

(When writing put it as a fraction to visually see the next part)

We will cross-multiply: the ? will be represented by x

(6 times 100) + (21x)

600 = 21x

Now divide 600 by 21 to get about 28.6

Since 28.6 < 34 then we would get a probability of less than 34 out of 100
