Question

A and B are two similar 2D shapes

Answer 1

Answer: $312.5\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A and B are two similar shape with  lengths of 12 cm and 15 cm

A has an area of $200\ cm^2$

For similar figures, ratio of the square of corresponding length is equal to the ratio of the area

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{200}{A_b}=\dfrac{12^2}{15^2}\\\\\Rightarrow A_b=\dfrac{15^2}{12^2}\times 200\\\\\Rightarrow A_b=312.5\ cm^2$
