The two trapezoids shown are similar. if the area of the larger trapezoid is 96 square centimeters, what is the area of the smaller trapezoid

Similar, so the dimentions and thus the area should be in proprotion
bigger one is 4 times of smaller one

96=4 times smaller
divide b 4
24=smaller

smaller=24 square cm

Since the larger trapezoid is 4 times as large as the smaller one, if you divide the area of the larger one by 4, you will get the size of the smaller one. 96/4 = 24. Therefore, the size of the smaller trapezoid is 24 square centimeters.

Ithink the answer is: it is likely.
