Question

The two figures have a ratio of similarity of 3:4. If the area of the larger is 100 square units, what is the area of the smaller?

Answer 1

Answer:

75 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a proportion first.

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{x}{100}$

(x is on top because it asks for the smaller area, so it is on the same side of the 3)

after, cross multiply to find x

4x = 300

divide by 4

x= 75
