Question

A square with side length 4 cm represents 20% of a larger figure what is the area of the larger figure?

Answer 1

The area of the larger figure is 4 times the area of the smaller square.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the larger figure can be found by squaring the scale factor. In this case, the side length of the larger square is double the side length of the smaller square, so the scale factor is 2. To find the area of the larger square, square the scale factor: 2 x 2 = 4. Therefore, the area of the larger figure is 4 times the area of the smaller square.

Answer 2

First we are going to find divided by 100 and multiply 20 is equal to four.

We are gonna use x to represent this number.

x/100 * 20 = 4

Solve for x

Therefore x = 20cm

Now that we found x the side of the larger square we are gonna find the area which is side^2.

20 * 20

Therefore the area of the larger square is 400cm^2
