Answer:
my answer is incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the two shapes are similar, you can answer this question with a proportion.
[tex]\frac{12}{200} = \frac{15}{area} \\12area = 200*15\\area = \frac{200*15}{12} = 250[/tex]
Another way you could solve it is to find the percentage growth of the height of the area.
[tex]\frac{15-12}{12} = \frac{3}{12} = 25[/tex] percent growth.
We can multiply the area of A by 1.25 to find the area of B
[tex]200*1.25 = 250[/tex]
edit: I was incorrect, it is not linear.
It would be [tex]200*(1.25)^2[/tex]
