Question

Polygon C has an area of 40 square units and someone drew a scaled version of polygon C with a scale factor of 1/2 and labeled it polygon d. What is the area of polygon D?

Answer 1

Answer:

20 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

If Polygon C has an area of 40 square units, and we are told that Polygon D is a copy of Polygon C but with a scale factor of 1/2, then everything for Polygon D would just be one-half of what it was for Polygon C. Thus, the area would be half of 40 square units, or, 20 square units.
