The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Triangle A is attached in the image below.
The base of triangle A is 3 units and its height is 3 units. The area of a triangle is given as:
Area = (1/2) × base × height
Area of triangle A = (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × 3 × 3 = 4.5 unit²
Area of the scaled copy = 72 unit²
Ratio of area = Area of the scaled copy / Area of triangle A = 72 unit² / 4.5 unit² = 16
Hence the scaled copy area is 16 times larger than that of triangle A.
b) For the scaled copy:
Area of the scaled copy = (1/2) × base × height = 72 unit²
base × height = 144
Since the base and height are equal
base² = 144
base = 12, also height = 12
Base of scaled copy = 12 = 4 × base of triangle A
Therefore the scale factor used is 4

Step-by-step explanation:
Method 1: Using a calculator <em>instead</em> of the unit circle
The unit circle gives coordinates pairs for the <em>cos</em> and <em>sin</em> values at a certain angle. Therefore, if an angle is given, use a calculator to evaluate the functions at cos(angle) and sin(angle).
Method 2: Using the unit circle
Use the unit circle to locate the angle measure of 150° (or 5π/6 radians) and use the coordinate pair listed by the value (see attachment).
This coordinate pair is (-√3/2, 1/2).
