The perimeters of two similar quadrilaterals are 48 cm and 60 cm, respectively. If the area of the smaller quadrilateral is 96 c
m2, find the area of the larger quadrilateral.
1 answer:
To answer this question set up a ratio of the perimeter to the area for the small quadrilateral (48 cm:96 square cm). Create an equivalent ratio with the perimeter of the larger quadrilateral to the area of the larger a quadrilateral (60 cm:x square cm). Use cross products to answer this. See the attached work.
