Answer: Polygon Q's area is 1/4 of Polygon P's area
======================================================
Explanation:
Imagine we had a square with side length 8. The area of this square is 8*8 = 64.
Now let's reduce each side of the square by the scale factor 1/2. So each new side is 8*(1/2) = 4. The area of this smaller square is 4*4 = 16.
Comparing the new area (16) to the old one (64), we see that the new area is 16/64 = 1/4 of the old area.
In other words,
new smaller area = (1/4)*(old larger area)
So this is one example to see why (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4 is the area scale factor based on the linear scale factor of 1/2. In short, (1/2)^2 = 1/4. Whatever the original scale factor is, square it and you'll get the area scale factor.

Answer:
$1571
Step-by-step explanation:
If we assume that y is profit in dollars, the maximum value of y is revealed by a graph to be ...
ymax = $1571
The maximum profit the company can make is $1571 at a selling price of $45 each.
_____
The function can be written in vertex form as ...
y = -(x^2 -90x) -454
y = -(x^2 -90x +45^2) -454 +45^2
y = -(x -45)^2 +1571
Because the leading coefficient is negative, we know this vertex represents a maximum. (x, y) = (45, 1571) at the vertex. Maximum profit is $1571.
The "horizontal" distance is 8-2 = 6.
The "vertical" distance is 7-3 = 4.
The Pythagorean theorem tells you the straight line distance is then
√(6² + 4²) = √52 = 2√13 ≈ 7.21
