im better at tables then doing them off shapes
ScaryPerson:
ok. i can work with this
ScaryPerson:
SO to find the scale factor what we do is we make a ratio of on the lengths of the 2 corresponding sides
Lucaskash3r:
6 at the top area 9 on the left??
ScaryPerson:

it says the area is 5
Lucaskash3r:
im talking abt q i just counted sides im really slow i might have a c butim not good
ScaryPerson:
So whatever he did to the first polygon, that would be the same as this one
ScaryPerson:
dw everyone isn't always good at these things. You will get better
Lucaskash3r:
okk uhh if its scaled from p and p is 5 then would q be 10 or 2.5

it means that if the area of the first polygon is 5, and polygon Q is a copy of P, then the area would also be 5
ScaryPerson:
And yes!
Lucaskash3r:
so they are both 5..?
ScaryPerson:
The area is
ScaryPerson:
so think.

ok so the scale factor would be 1/2
ScaryPerson:
so you would do 5*9=45
ScaryPerson:
and since the scale factor was copyed, it would be 3
Lucaskash3r:
WHERE DID THE 9 COME FROM??
ScaryPerson:
hold on

caps sorry
ScaryPerson:
OK so the area of pollygon Q is 45. so the area would have to be 9. Which to get that it would 5*9=45
Lucaskash3r:
ohhh ok ok
ScaryPerson:
uh huh
ScaryPerson:
you got it?
