Step-by-step explanation:
area of MNP= 15cm²
let area of ABC is x
it is given that both triangles are similar
therefore the ratio of their sides is equal to ratio of their area
therefore 6/8=15/x
x= 20 cm ²

Answer:
The required area of the triangle is 20 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given to us that :
Both the triangles ABC and MNP are similar.
Also, MN = 6cm and AB = 8cm
and Area of triangle MNP = 15 cm²
Therefore, by the theory of the similarity in triangles, we know that
the ratio of the sides of one triangle (MNP) = ratio of the area of the other triangle(ABC)
Now, Let the area of triangle ABC be "x" cm²
So.
or, x = 120 / 6 = 20 cm²
Hence, the required area of the triangle is 20 cm²
