Question

Triangle abc similar to triangle pqr if ab/pq=1/3 then find ar of triangle abc and pqr

Answer 1

According to a theorem on similar triangles, the areas of similar triangles are in the ratio of squares of corresponding sides.

Hence in the triangles ABC and PQR, if AB and PQ are corresponding sides and AB/PQ = 1/3, the ratio of the areas of the triangles ABC and PQR is equal to 1^2/3^2 = 1/9
