the corresponding sides of two similar rectangles are 14 ft. and 8 ft.
the area of the smaller rectangle is 57 ft squared to the nearest whole number,
what is the area of larger rectangle
:
Assume they are right triangles, find the other side of the smaller triangle
2(57/8) = 14.25 sq/ft: (.5*14.25*8=57)
:
Find the other side of the larger triangle, using corresponding sides in
similar triangles
*14.25 = 24.9375
;
Find the area of the larger triangle
.5*14*24.9375 = 174.5625 sq/ft area of the larger triangle
