AboutAzeem Hussain Expertise I can answer virtually any kind of question dealing with of Math 536 and below, my forte being in parabolic functions and analytical geometry.
I'm currently learning Calculus I, and cannot answer questions that deal with subject matter more advanced than that.
Experience I am neither a professor nor a teacher of this subject. I am merely a student who is gifted at mathematics and enjoys being of service to his community. I frequently tutor people in math and the results are usually great.

Expert: Azeem Hussain Date: 7/12/2008 Subject: Similarity - Areas
Question the perimeters of two similar polygons are 36 and 48. if the area of the larger polygon is 96, what is the area of the smaller polygon?
Answer Hi Meilani!
You need to find the scale factor, k. This is the ratio of one-dimensional measurements: side, height, radius, perimeter... (Note that capital letters refer to the larger figure.)
k=l/L
k=(36)/(48)
k=3/4
Areas, however, are in 2 dimensions. The scale factor to the power of the number of dimensions equals the ratios of the areas.
k^2=a/A
(3/4)^2=a/(96)
9/16=a/96
a=54
SOLUTION: The smaller polygon's area is 54 square units.
