Answer: Area of Polygon Q is [tex]\dfrac14[/tex] of Area of Polygon
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Polygon Q is a scaled copy of Polygon P using a scale factor of [tex]\dfrac12[/tex] .
According to the property of scale factor ,
Area of the image = (scale factor )²x (Area of the original figure)
So, Area of Polygon Q = [tex](\dfrac12)^2[/tex] x (Area of Polygon P)
⇒ Area of Polygon Q = [tex]\dfrac14[/tex] x (Area of Polygon P)
Hence, Area of Polygon Q is [tex]\dfrac14[/tex] of Area of Polygon P.
