the ratio of the length of the corresponding side of two regular polygons is 3:4. The area of the larger polygon is 320m. what is the are of the smaller polygon

Respuesta :

180m²
the ratio of the side is 3/4,so the ratio of the area will be 9/16

Answer:

The answer is 180 sq m.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given, the ratio of the length of the corresponding side of two regular polygons is 3:4. So, the ratio of areas is [tex](\frac{3}{4})^{2}=\frac{9}{16}[/tex]

The area of the larger polygon is 320m. So, let the area of the smaller polygon be = x

As the ration is 9:16 , we can say that : [tex]\frac{x}{320}=\frac{9}{16}[/tex]

[tex]16x=320*9[/tex]

This gives x = 180

Hence, the area of the smaller polygon is 180 square meter.
