Answer 5

@JoannThomas can you help?

Answer 6

Yeah one sec.

Answer 7

Okay, thank you

Answer 8

Since they are similar figures, the areas will also be proportional. They will have the same ratio as the ratio of the sides of one figure to another.

Answer 9

so 12:18= X:121?

Answer 10

Yes I'm pretty sure.

Answer 11

Does the actual shape matter or is it just ratios?

Answer 12

This will work for any similar figures. Similar figures mean they have the same angles and the same ratio of sides, hence their areas would be proportional.
