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.

The length of a rectangle is 5 less than 3 times the width. What is the length?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Let the width of the Rectangle be x inches

Then, length is (3x-5) inches

Perimeter of the Rectangle= 46 inches (given)

According to the above problem,

Equation :---- Perimeter=2(length+breadth)

<u>2{(3x-5)+x}=46</u>

2(4x-5)=46

(4x-5)=46/2=23

4x=(23+5)=28

x=28/4

<u>x=7</u>

So, length of the Rectangle is {(3×7)-5}=16 inches

and width is= 7 inches
