The scale factor used to go from P to Q is 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

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

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x -----> area of polygon Q

y -----> area of polygon P

$z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$y=72\ units^2$

Find the area of polygon Q

Divide the the area of polygon Q in two triangles and three squares

The area of the polygon Q is equal to the area of two triangles plus the area of three squares

see the attached figure N 2

Find the area of triangle 1

$A=(1/2)(1)(2)=1\ units^2$

Find the area of three squares (A2,A3 and A4)

$A=3(1)^2=3\ units^2$

Find the area of triangle 5

$A=(1/2)(1)(1)=0.5\ units^2$

The area of polygon Q is

$x=1+3+0.5=4.5\ units^2$

Find the scale factor

$z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$y=72\ units^2$

$x=4.5\ units^2$

substitute and solve for z

$z^{2}=\frac{4.5}{72}$

$z^{2}=\frac{1}{16}$

square root both sides

$z=\frac{1}{4}$

therefore

The scale factor used to go from P to Q is 1/4
