Question

Two similar triangles have a scale factor of 2/3. The area of the larger triangle is 12 square centimeters. What is the area of the smaller triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:-

• area of the smaller triangle is 8cm².

Given:-

• ratio of two similar triangles are 2:3

• The area of the larger triangle is 12² cm

Solution:-

according to the ratio 2:3..

so, let the area of two triangles be = 2x & 3x

area of larger = 3x

12 = 3x

x = 4

so, now area of smaller triangle is = 2x = 8cm²

Answer 2

Answer:the area of triangle =sqaure of scale factor ,4/9=area of smaller triangle /12,area of smaller triangle =12×4/9,area of smaller triangle =16/3=5.33
