it’s called fu.cking being smart

The area of polygon JKLMNO is 48 square units

The picture of the question in the attached figure

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, the the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional, and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

The scale factor of the dilation of polygon PQRSTU to polygon JKLMNO is

substitute the given values

step 2

Find the area of polygon JKLMNO

we know that

If two figures are similar, the the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x ----> area of polygon  JKLMNO

y ----> area of polygon PQRSTU

we have

substitute

solve for x

therefore

The area of polygon JKLMNO is 48 square units
