The figures are similar. Find the area.

The area of trapezoid RSTU is 68 square inches, and the area of similar trapezoid JKLM is 425 square inches. What is the scale factor of RSTU to JKLM?

A. 25/4

B. 4/25

C. 2/5

D. 5/2

The answer below is actually incorrect, i put that answer on my test and got it wrong.

Scale factor = 4:25 (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor is defined as the ratio of two corresponding side, lengths, areas, or volumes of similar figures.

Area of trapezoid RSTU: 68

Area of trapezoid JKLM; 425

Scale factor of RSTU to JKLM = 68/425

= 4/25

Scale factor = 4:25
