Answer 3

I meant number 4, sorry!

Answer 4

No problem :-)

Answer 5

Tell me what you get. I have my answer

Answer 6

What about your ratios?

Answer 7

\[9\div24 = x \div 1024\]And then solve for x

Answer 8

I want to check/compare my answers; what did you get?

Answer 9

Oh haha, okay

Answer 10

I think it's 144 mm for the area though

Answer 11

Post your solution, I am pretty sure mine is wrong :-)

Answer 12

I think it's 139mm^2, now. So, 144 is nearer it. :-)

Answer 13

Since you are looking for the area of the smaller one, you have to make a proportion you do" 9/24=x/1024

Answer 14

But 9/24 is not apples to apples with 1024 because 1024 is the area. Simplified, 9/24 is 3/8 (simplifying just makes the work easier). So 3/8 squared is 9/64. Then you can solve the proportion:
9/64=x/1024, which gives you 144. 139 may be close, but it is still incorrect

Answer 15

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=pentagon+side+%3D+9 139 is closer to it, I think. It's only rounding errors, though. You thought the problem correctly, the shame is on me :-). Kudos for solving it.

Answer 16

Well, who knows, I may be wrong.
