The area of a pentagon is found through the following formula:

[tex]A = \frac{1}{4} \sqrt{5(5+2 \sqrt{5}) } * s^{2} [/tex]

s is equal to the side length.

Plug 12 and 28 into the formula.

A(12) = 247.75
A(28) = 1348.85

Divide the first result by the second result.

[tex] \frac{247.75}{1348.85} [/tex] ≈ [tex]0.1836[/tex]

9/49 is equal to this decimal.

The answer is 9/49.
