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
