Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is \dfrac12

2

1

​

start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction, so each side length of the polygon was multiplied by \dfrac12

​

start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction.

Hint #22 / 4

Key idea

If the length of a figure scales by xxx, then area of the figure scales by x^2x

2

x, squared.

The Polygon QQQ is created with a scale factor of \dfrac12

2

1

​

start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction. So, the area of Polygon QQQ scales by \left({\dfrac12}\right)^2(

)

left parenthesis, start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction, right parenthesis, squared.

start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction

\begin{aligned} A &= \left(l\times\dfrac12\right)\times\left(w\times\dfrac12\right) \\ \\ A&= l\times w\times\dfrac12\times\dfrac12 \\ \\ A&= lw \times \left({\dfrac12}\right)^2\\ \\ A&= lw \times {\dfrac1{4}} \end{aligned}

 

 

 

 

Q=lw\times\dfrac1{4}

Q, equals, l, w, times, start fraction, 1, divided by, 4, end fraction

P=lwP, equals, l, w

Q=lw\times\dfrac1{4}

Q, equals, l, w, times, start fraction, 1, divided by, 4, end fraction

Hint #33 / 4

\left({\dfrac12}\right)^2= {\dfrac12\times\dfrac12}=\dfrac1{4}(

Answer:

Polygon q’s area is one fourth of polygon p’s area

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x-----> polygon q’s area

y-----> polygon p’s area

so

z^{2} =\frac{x}{y}

In this problem we have

z=\frac{1}{2}

substitute

(\frac{1}{2})^{2} =\frac{x}{y}

(\frac{1}{4}) =\frac{x}{y}

x=\frac{1}{4}y

therefore

Polygon q’s area is one fourth of polygon p’s area
