PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! Polygon B is a scaled copy of Polygon A using a scale factor of 5. How many times larger is the area of Polygon B than the area Polygon A? SOS <3

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is polygon B is [tex]5^{n}[/tex] times polygon A, where n is the number of sides of the polygon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Polygon A and Polygon B belongs to the same family of polygon, say of n sides.

Polygon B is a scaled copy of the other by a factor of 5.

The area of polygon B would be scaled by the factor of 5, n times as compared to the area of polygon A.

Therefore area of Polygon B is [tex]5^{n}[/tex] times the area of the polygon A.
