Question

The linear scale factor if two similar shapes is 3:4,if the area of the bigger shape is400 cm Square find the area of the smaller shape

Answer 1

Answer:

300 Sq. cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear Scale factor of two similar shapes is like the ratio of dimensions of the enlarged shape to that of the smaller shape or original shape .

here, linear scale factor = 3 : 4

Let the area of smaller shape be x

3/ 4 = x/ 400

300 = x

And since, x was the area of the smaller shape it'd value is 300 sq cm.
