Answer:

A = 4 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 similar figures with sides in ratio a : b , then

ratio of areas = a² : b²

here ratio of sides = 3.5 : 14 = 1 : 4 , then

ratio of areas = 1² : 4² = 1 : 16

That is the area of the larger pentagon is 16 times the area of smaller , so

area of smaller A = 64 ÷ 16 = 4 in²
