Answer 1

Answer:

486 in.2 is the answer!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

= 486 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear scale factor = Image distance/object distance

Therefore; Linear scale factor = OL'/OL

                                                 = 54/ 12

                                                 = 9/2

Area scale factor is equivalent to the square of linear scale factor

Thus;

Area scale factor = (9/2)²

                             = 81/4

Hence; 81/4 = Area of larger rectangle/Area of smaller rectangle

Area of the smaller rectangle = 4 ×6 = 24 in²

Therefore;

Area of enlarged or larger pic = 81/4× 24

                                                  = 486 in²
