Answer:
The area of triangle ABC will be 64 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the area of a triangle is proportional to square of its sides,
since P is the midpoint of AB,
=> AP/AB = 1/2
Also ΔPQR is similar to ΔABC
=> PQ/AB = 1/2
Also,
Area of ΔPQR/Area of ΔABC = PQ²/AB²
=> 16/Area of ΔABC = 1/4
=> Area of ΔABC = 16 x 4 = 64 cm²
Hence the area of triangle ABC will be 64 cm²
