Question

Polygon Y is a scaled copy of polygon X using a scale factor of 1/3. Polygon Ys area is what fraction of polygons Xs area?

Answer 1

The answer is "
`\bold{(1)/(9)}`"

Explanation:

In this question, when two figures are similar so, the ratio from its size is equal to the squared factor that are:

Scaling factor= Z

Area of Polygon Y=a

Area of Polygon X=b

`z=(1)/(3)\\\\using \ substitution:\\\\((1)/(3))^2=(a)/(b)\\\\(1)/(9)=(a)/(b)\\\\a=(1)/(9)b`
