Question

B. The linear scale factor of two similar

shapes is 14:7. If the area of the
bigger shape is 490cm, what is the
area of the smaller shape?​

Answer 1

Area of smaller shape = 245 cm²

Explanation:

Given:

Scale factor ration [Big shape to small shape] = 14:7

Area of bigger shape = 490 cm²

Find:

Area of smaller shape

Computation:

Area of smaller shape = Area of bigger shape[7 / 14]

Area of smaller shape = 490[7 / 14]

Area of smaller shape = 490[7 / 14]

Area of smaller shape = 35[7]

Area of smaller shape = 245 cm²
