Two corresponding sides of similar polygons are in the ratio of 8:7. If the area of the smaller figure

is 512 square meters, what is the area of the larger figure?

4 answers

Ratio of area between similar figures
= (ratio of linear dimensions)²

For the given polygons,
linear ratio = 8/7
area ratio = (8/7)²
Can you take it from here?
no i knew that part its the rest
So if the smaller one is 512 m², and the ratio is (8/7)², what is the area of the larger polygon? Post what you get.
342m^2
