Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the scale factor
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor
Let
z----> the scale factor
x----> corresponding side of the larger trapezoid
y----> corresponding side of the smaller trapezoid

we have


substitute

step 2
Find the area of the larger trapezoid
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----> area of the larger trapezoid
y----> area of the smaller trapezoid

we have


substitute



....... shouldn't that be a question instead of an answer? Well, I guess it is what it is, and I understand it thx anyways. (=^\/^=)
