After dilation by a scale factor of 33, the surface area of rectangular pyramid A, the preimage is 1.12 cm²
To find the area of rectangular pyramid A given rectangular pyramid B, we need to know its scale factor.
Scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding sides of two objects.
Now, since rectangular pyramid B is the image of rectangular pyramid A, we have that (since we are dealing with areas)
(Scale factor)² = surface area of rectangular pyramid B/surface area of rectangular pyramid A
So, surface area of rectangular pyramid A = surface are of rectangular pyramid B/(scale factor)²
Since
surface area of rectangular pyramid A = surface area of rectangular pyramid B/(scale factor)²
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
surface area of rectangular pyramid A = 1215 cm²/33²
= 1215 cm²/1089
= 1.12 cm²
So, after dilation by a scale factor of 33, the surface area of rectangular pyramid A, the preimage is 1.12 cm²
