Answer:

100 inch²

Explanation:

Two similar figures have been given in the figure

Ratio of the corresponding side =
(15)/(21)= ((5)/(7))

As we know area is two dimensions unit or it is a multiplication of two sides.

So square of ratio of the sides = ratio of their areas.

((5)/(7)) ² =
((x)/(196))

x=(196* 25)/(49) = 100 inch²

The area of other figure is 100 inch²
