Step-by-step explanation:
Hence it is proved that when two triangle are similar . The ratio of area of those triangle is equal to rather ratio of the square of there corresponding side.
arΔABC / arΔPQR = (BC/QR)^2 = (AB/PQ)^2 = (AC/PR)^2
Given,
Let the two similar triangles be: Δ ABC and Δ PQR
Let AD and PS be the altitudes of triangles ABC and PQR respectively.
Area of triangle ABC = 1/2 × BC × AD
Area of triangle PQR = 1/2 × QR × PS
ar Δ ABC / ar Δ PQR = 1/2 × BC × AD / 1/2 × QR × PS
ar Δ ABC / ar Δ PQR = BC × AD / QR × PS
Since the triangles are similar, we have,
AB/PQ = BC/QR = AC/PR = AD/PS .........(1)
ar Δ ABC / ar Δ PQR = BC × AD / QR × PS
Using (1) we get,
ar Δ ABC / ar Δ PQR = BC × BC / QR × QR = ( BC / QR )^2
ar Δ ABC / ar Δ PQR = ( BC / QR )^2 = ( AB / PQ )^2 = ( AC / PR )^2
Hence proved.
