1 cm=5 ft

Answer 3

Well, the smaller triangle is 1 cm equals 5 ft. vs the one on the right, 2.5 ft. So the one on the left is going to be twice as big

Answer 4

The pictures are deceiving, you need to pay attention to the proportions. :) Did that help?

Answer 5

Yes thank you!

Answer 6

No problem :)

Answer 7

u need to think
1 cm= 5 ft
so
1 sq cm = 25 ft

so for the triangle on left u would get 600 ft

now transfer the opposite

1 cm= 2.5
1 sq cm=6.25

so 600/6.25 =96 :)
