Question

ST||RQ,PS =3cm and SR=4 cm .Find the ratio of triangle PST and AREA of triangle PQR.

Answer 1

Answer:

9:49

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

ST || RQ

PS= 3 cm

SR = 4cm

Proof :--

ar(∆PST) /ar(∆PRQ) = (PS)²/(PR)²

ar(∆PST) /ar(∆PRQ) = 3²/(PS+SR)²

ar(∆PST) /ar(∆PRQ) = 9/(3+4)²= 9/7² = 9/49

Hence, the required ratio ar(∆PST) :ar(∆PRQ) = 9:49
