540 = 2?? what do i do with the 2 and question mark?

Mehek (mehek14):

that's wrong. you find the scale factor. then you multiply the area by the scale factor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i find the scale factor??

Mehek (mehek14):

you are given 2 side lengths 15 & 20 since you are finding the area of the smaller figure, you divide 15/20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/4??

Mehek (mehek14):

ok now multiply 3/4 by 240

OpenStudy (anonymous):
