The two polygons above are similar. The scale factor of the smaller polygon to the larger polygon is 3. The area of the smaller

polygon is 12 sq. units. What is the area of the larger polygon?

You would think it was 3 * 12 = 36. Not so. All polygons have to be broken down into some figure that will give 2 dimensions that are at right angles to each other. That would mean that
d1 * d2 = Area for the small polygon
3d1 * 3d2 = area of the larger polygon

What that means is that the area of the larger one is 9 times the smaller one.
Area large = 12 * 9 = 108 square units. <<<<< answer.

If you find this hard to be leave try it with a square.
Suppose you have a square (the small one) that is 3 cm by 3 cm
The small one has an area of 3*3 cm^2 = 9 cm

Now you have another square that is 3 times larger. That means that each side is 3*3 = 9
So s = 9
Area = s^2
Area = 9^2 = 81 cm^2
81 is 9 times larger than 9 just as you would think.

two similar triangles have a scale factor of 3:5. the altitude of the larger trangle is 24 inches. what is the altitude of the s
Andreyy89
The altitude of the smaller triangle will be given as follows:
let the altitude of the smaller triangle be x
scale factor of small to large triangle is 3:5
but
scale factor=(length of small Δ)/(length of large Δ)
plugging in our values we get:
3/5=x/24
solving for x we get:
x=3/5×24
x=14.4 inches

Answer: 14.4 inches

In the diagram what is the angle of depression?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

\angle EGD

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine that the point E is variable along the ED line.

As you lower E along ED, the angle EDG gets smaller and smaller, so this is the angle of depression.
