Rectangle abcd is similar to rectangle wxyz . the area of abcd is 30 square inches. explain how to find the area, x , of wxyz

Area of rectangle WXYZ = ( Area of rectangle  ABCD ) /

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that two polygons are said to be similar if their sides are proportional.

As ABCD and WXYZ are similar,

Let this ratio be equal to k,

So,

Area of rectangle ABCD = 30 square inches = length × breadth = AB × BC = k WX × k XY = WX × XY = × Area of rectangle WXYZ.

So, if know value of k, we can find area of rectangle WXYZ

i.e, Area of rectangle WXYZ = ( Area of rectangle  ABCD ) /

360/29
