Two similar triangles have an area ratio of 9 1... - JSS3 Mathematics Geometry Question
Two similar triangles have an area ratio of 9:16. If the smaller triangle has an area of 36 cm², find the area of the larger triangle.
Let the scale factor between the triangles be
𝑘=16/9=4/3
Area of the larger triangle =𝑘^2 × Area of the smaller triangle
Area of the larger triangle =
(4/3)2×36
Area of the larger triangle =16/9×36
Area of the larger triangle
=64 cm²
