Question

Does someone mind helping me with this problem? Thank you!

Answer 1

875 ft^2

Explanation:

If 5 goes to 25 then the scale factor is 5

35 ft^2 x 5 x 5 = 875 ft^2

Answer 2

875 ft²

Explanation:

Finding area of similar rectangles:

Scale factor = EF : AB

= 25 : 5

= 5 : 1

`\sf (Area \ of \ bigger \ rectangle)/(Area \ of \ smaller \ rectangle)= (Scale \ factor)^2`

`(Area \ of \ bigger \ rectangle)/(35) =\left((5)/(1)\right)^2`

`\text{Area of bigger rectangle = $(25)/(1)*35$}`

Area or rectangle EFGH = 875 ft²
