Answer:
smaller triangle area = 73 1/3 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller triangle has a ratio of linear dimensions of 10/15 = 2/3 of that of the larger triangle. The area ratio is the square of this, so the area of the smaller triangle is ...
(165 ft^2)(2/3)^2 = (165 ft^2)(4/9) = 220/3 ft^2 = 73 1/3 ft^2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, start by converting 4 feet to inches. Note that 1 foot = 12 inches.
Set up a unit converter:
The ft cancel out leaving us with:
Now, we can set up a scale factor...
Divide 16 by the percentage:
16 / 0.35 = 45.71428571
16 is 35% of 45.71428571 inches. (round the answer as needed.)
