Answer:

shorter base = 6 yd

longer base = 8 yd

area of playground = 42 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The question tells you that the shorter side is equal to the width, which is 6 yds. The bases of the triangles on either side are 1 yd. Since there are two, add 1 twice to 6 (6+1+1). This gives you 8 yd for the longer base. You're right about the area, just use the trapezoid area formula: 1/2h(a+b).

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
