Answer:
Area of resulting triangle will be 900 [tex]cm^2[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
When sides of any polygon if scaled by a factor of k
then area is scaled by [tex]k^2[/tex]
According to the above statement
therefore here in the question since area of original triangle was 36[tex]cm^2[/tex]
and both base and height are scaled by a factor of 5.
therefore area of scaled triangle will be [tex]5^2[/tex] times of the original
that is 25 x 36 which gives 900 [tex]cm^2[/tex]
So area of resulting triangle will be 900 [tex]cm^2[/tex]
