Answer:
ANSWER
Given:
ST∥QR
PT= 4 cm
TR = 4cm
In △PST and △PQR,
∠SPT=∠QPR(Common)
∠PST=∠PQR (Corresponding angles)
△PST∼△PQR(By AA similarity criterion)
We know that the ratio of areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding sides.
area△PQRarea△PST=PR2PT2
area△PQRarea△PST=(PT+TR)242
area△PQRarea△PST=(4+4)216=8216=6416=41
Thus, the ratio of the areas of △PST and △PQR is
1:4.
