Question

The corresponding sides of two similar triangles are in the ratio 2:3 if the area of the smaller triangle is 48 cm2 , then the area of larger triangle is what

Answer 1

Answer:

area of larger triangle = 108 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

for two similar triangles,

ratio of their areas = ratio of square of their corresponding sides

=> area of larger triangle/area of the smaller triangle = (3/2)^2

=> area of larger triangle/48 = 9/4

=> area of larger triangle = 9×48/4 = 108 cm2
