Question

Polygon B is a scaled copy of Polygon A using a scale factor of 5.

How many times larger is the area of Polygon B than the area Polygon A?

Answer 1

25 times

Explanation:

Since polygon A is enlarged by a scale factor of 5 to get a Polygon B, therefore,

Area of polygon B : Area of polygon A = 5² : 1²

Area of polygon B : Area of polygon A = 25:1

This, this implies that the area of polygon B is 25 times the area of polygon A.
