Question

the ratio of the areas of two triangles is 5.2. the area of the larger triangle is 60 cm squad.what is the area of the smaller triangle

Answer 1

$let \: the \: larger \: triangle \: be \: ∆ABC$

$let \: the \: larger \: triangle \: be \: ∆PQR$

$ratio \: \frac{5}{2}$

$\frac{5}{2} = \frac{60}{x}$

$x = \frac{60 \times 2}{5}$

$x = \frac{120}{5}$

$x = 24 {cm}^{2}$
