Answer:
- Ratio of their Area = 9:4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Ratio of corresponding altitudes of two similar triangles = 3:2.
To Find:
- Ratio of their areas.
Now, we know about Theorem of area of similar triangles
>> Theorem of area of similar triangle states that the ratio of area of two similar triangle is equal to square of ratio of their corresponding altitudes.
Now, according to Theorem,
=> Ratio of Area = (Ratio of their corresponding altitudes)²
=> Ratio of their Area = (3/2)²
=> Ratio of their Area = 9/4
Hence, Ratio of their Area = 9:4.
