Question

A kids’ splash pool and an adults’ pool are shaped like similar triangles. The dimensions of the kids’ pool are one-fifth of the dimensions of the adults’ pool. If the area of the adults’ pool is 225 square meters, what is the area of the kids’ pool?
Answer
9 m2
45 m2
112 m2
225 m2

Answer 1

i think it 9 m2 because if you find the square root of 225 then you get 15 and one fifth of that is 3 then square that to find the area.

Answer 2

since the areas goes with the square, if the dimensions are one fifth, the area is one twenty fifth

Answer 3
