The surface area of a triangle pyramid is 1,936mm2. If the dimensions are multiplied by 1/4 what will be the new surface area?

Mumz [18]

Answer:

The new surface area will be $121\ mm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

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

In this problem

The scale factor is $\frac{1}{4}$

Multiply the scale factor squared by the original surface area to obtain the new surface area

$(\frac{1}{4})^{2}*1,936=121\ mm^{2}$

Write and solve a division problem involving decimals.Explain how you know where to place the decimal point in the quotient.

Mike has 10 and a half cookies (10.5). Mike wants to share these cookies with 5 friends. How many cookies does each friend get. The answer is 2.1 one (Or 2 and 1 crumb I guess lol). You place the decimal point where ever it was originally so you would place it after the 2 and before the one. It's been a while since I've done one of these problems so sorry if I'm a little rusty.
