the area of similar figures is proportional to the square of their corresponding sides
so
x/512 = 8^2/7^2
x/512 = 64/49
x = 512*64/49
= 669 m^2
None of your choices are correct, besides the units for all of them should be m^2 and not m.
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?
A) 3584 m B) 134,217,728 m
C) 392 m D) Not enough information given
