A picture has an area of 35cm and is 7cm long. An enlargement of the picture is made which is 21cm long. Find the area of the enlargement

315 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the scale factor of 2 similar figures is a : b , then

ratio of areas = a² : b²

Here the scale factor = 7 : 21 = 1 : 3 , thus

ratio of areas = 1² : 3² = 1 : 9

That is the area of the enlargement is 9 times the original, so

area of enlargement = 35 × 9 = 315 cm²

answer: i'm not going to give you the answer, but some hints to work it out.

step-by-step explanation: so, if there is a straight line that means that the line angle is 180°. so we subtract the 2 angle measures provided, (15 and 38) from 180. so the answer is 180 - (38 + 15). (you have to solve the equation)
