10. Find the area of the shaded region.

Area = 114

Step-by-step explanation:

We first must find the area of the larger outside rectangle.

Area = length × width

15 × 8 = 120

Then we find the area of the smaller inside rectangle.

4 × 1.5 = 6

Since the small rectangle is not shaded we have to subtract its area from the larger shaded rectangle's area.

120 - 6 = 114

y/x=18

step-by-step explanation:

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
