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.

Zoe has 5 pounds of potatos she has multiple recipes that require 3/4 pound of potatoes how many recipes will she be able to mak
Natali [406]
Amount of potatoes that Zoe has = 5 pounds
Quantity of potatoes that Zoe need for each recipe = 5/(3/4) 
                                                                                 = 5 * (4/3) 
                                                                                 = 20/3 
                                                                                 = 6 2/3 
From the above deduction, we can conclude that only 6 recipes can be made. The remaining amount of 2/3 will remain unused. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Schach [20]

Answer:

3 machine

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 6 machine each working at the same rate can complete the work in 12 days

We the has to complete in 8 days

Let we need x extra machine to complete the work in 8 days

So total number of machines =x+6

Now according to man work day equation M_1D_1=M_2D_2

6\times 12=(x+6)\times 8

8x+48=72

8x=24

x=3 machine
