Answer:
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△PQR area△PST=PR^2/PT^2
area△PQR area△PST=(PT+TR)24^2
area△PQR area△PST=(4+4)216=82/16=64/16=41
Thus, the ratio of the areas of △PST and △PQR is
1:4.
