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.

Craig likes to collect video records last year he had 10 records his collection now has 12 records what is the percent increase
algol [13]
I believe the answer is a 20% increase because 12-10 equals 2. there is a 2 record difference so 2 out of 10 is 1/5 of the whole, but you have to convert the numbers and 1/5 of the whole of 100 is 20. sorry if that didn’t make much sense
