A dilated figure has a surface area of 10,990.8 in.2. The figure was dilated by a scale factor of 6. What is the surface area of the original figure?(1 point)

Answer 1

The surface area of the original figure can be found by dividing the surface area of the dilated figure by the square of the scale factor.

Surface area of original figure = Surface area of dilated figure / (scale factor)^2
Surface area of original figure = 10,990.8 / (6)^2
Surface area of original figure = 10,990.8 / 36
Surface area of original figure ≈ 305.3 in.2
