Answer:
234.0 sq. meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the rectangles are similar, it means that there is a common ratio between the width and length.
Since the length of ABCD is given at 2.25m and length of EFGH is given at 9, let's find a common ratio to find how much this big rectangle is multiplied by from Rectangle ABCD.
9/2.25=4
This 4 means that ABCD is being multiplied in size by 4 to equal EFGH.
Let's multiply 6.5m by 4 to get the width for EFGH.
6.5*4=26m
Now that we have the width and length, we can find the area which is length times height:
26m*9m=234.0 sq. meters
Answer:
- The area of EFGH is 234 m².
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
- 4(AB + BC + CD + DA) = EF + FG + GH + HE
- EF = 9m
- AB = CD = 2.25 m
- DA = BC = 6.5 m
- Area of EFGH = EF x FG
Work:
- 4(AB + BC + CD + DA) = EF + FG + GH + HE
- => 4(2.25) + 4(6.5) + 4(2.25) + 4(6.5) = 9 + FG + GH + HE
- => 9 + 26 + 9 + 26 = 9 + FG + GH + HE
- => 26 + 9 + 26 = FG + GH + HE
- => FG = 26; GH = 9; HE = 26
- => Area of EFGH = EF x FG
- => Area of EFGH = 9 x 26
- => Area of EFGH = 234 m²
Hence, the area of EFGH is 234 m².
Hoped this helped.
