Question
Two 7-sided polygons are similar. A side of the larger polygon is 6 times as long as the corresponding side of the smaller polygon. What is the ratio of the area of the larger polygon to the area of the smaller polygon?

7-side polygon is heptagon or septagon.
Go to wikipedia and type
"heptagon"
On en.wikipedia you have all about heptagon.
Area is:
A=3.633912444*a^2
a is side lenght
Area of smaller heptagon is:
A1=3.633912444*(a1)^2
a1 lenght side of smaller polygon
Larger side lenght is:
a2=6*a1
a2 lenght side of larger polygon
A2=3.633912444*(a2)^2
=3.633912444*(6*a1)^2
=3.633912444*36*(a1)^2
(A2/A1)=36
