Hi I need help please

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: if two figures are similar, we know that the ratio of their areas = the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides

Apply this knowledge to solve the problems given.

✔️Problem 1 (4-sided polygon):

Let the missing area be x cm²

Therefore,

Multiply both sides by 9

x = 9*4

x = 36 cm²

✔️Problem 2 (3-sided polygon):

Let the missing area be y cm²

Therefore,

Multiply both sides by 240

y = ¹/16 × 240

y = 15 cm²

✔️Problem 3 (5-sided polygon):

Let the missing area be z cm²

Therefore,

Multiply both sides by 40

z = 90 cm²

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
