Two similar triangles have corresponding sides measuring 3 cm and 7 cm determine the ratio of their respective areas

1 answer:

8 0

If two similar triangles have side lengths 3cm and 7cm then we can determine that the scale factor for the lengths is: 7/3

Now, we have to work out the area scale factor !

This is simple, since area is given in cm² then all we have to do is square our original scale factor!

So,

7/3² = 49/9

So, we can say that the ratio of the area would be:

x : 49/9x

To solve this we are going to use the formula for the area of a circle: $A= \frac{1}{4} \pi d^2$
where
$A$ is the area of the circle
$d$ is the diameter of the circle

We know from our problem that the area of our circle is 10 inches long, so $d=10in$ . Lets replace that value in our formula to find $A$ :
$A=\frac{1}{4} \pi (10in)^2$
$A=78.54in^2$

We can conclude that the correct answer is: 78.54 square inches, or in centimeters: 506.7 square cm.
