10. Concept

11. Example 1 Find Areas of Similar Polygons If ABCD ~ PQRS and the area of ABCD is 48 square inches, find the area of PQRS. The scale factor between PQRS and ABCD is or. So, the ratio of the areas is __ 9 6 3 2

12. Example 1 Find Areas of Similar Polygons Write a proportion. Multiply each side by 48. Simplify. Answer:So, the area of PQRS is 108 square inches.

13. Example 1 A.180 ft 2 B.270 ft 2 C.360 ft 2 D.420 ft 2 If EFGH ~ LMNO and the area of EFGH is 40 square inches, find the area of LMNO.

14. Example 2 Use Areas of Similar Figures The area of ΔABC is 98 square inches. The area of ΔRTS is 50 square inches. If ΔABC ~ ΔRTS, find the scale factor from ΔABC to ΔRTS and the value of x. Let k be the scale factor between ΔABC and ΔRTS.

15. Example 2 Use Areas of Similar Figures Theorem 11.1 Substitution Take the positive square root of each side. Simplify. So, the scale factor from ΔABC to ΔRTS is Use the scale factor to find the value of x.

16. Example 2 Use Areas of Similar Figures The ratio of corresponding lengths of similar polygons is equal to the scale factor between the polygons. Substitution 7x= 14 ● 5Cross Products Property. 7x= 70Multiply. x= 10Divide each side by 7. Answer:x = 10

17. Example 2 Use Areas of Similar Figures CHECKConfirm that is equal to the scale factor.

18. Example 2 A.3 inches B.4 inches C.6 inches D.12 inches The area of ΔTUV is 72 square inches. The area of ΔNOP is 32 square inches. If ΔTUV ~ ΔNOP, use the scale factor from ΔTUV to ΔNOP to find the value of x.

19. Example 3 A.4.3 inches B.5.8 inches C.6.7 inches D.7.2 inches MODELS The area of one hood of a car is 35 square feet. The area of the hood of a model is 6 square inches. If the car is 14 feet long, about how long is the model?
