The answer is definitely No. For example, if the rectangle is increased by 2, the area must be 4 times. Apply the same to this triangle. Hope it help!

No. The new area is 2.25 times the original area. That's (1.5 times 1.5).

Answer: The area common to both triangle is 31.77 sq. cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

30-60-90 triangles are placed.

So, the ratio of sides would be

$1:\sqrt{3}:2$

Since Hypotenuse = 12 cm

So, it becomes,

$2x=12\\\\x=\dfrac{12}{2}=6$

So, Base would be

$x=6\ cm$

and Perpendicular would be

$\sqrt{3}x=6\sqrt{3}$

So, Area common to the both triangles would be

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6\times 6\sqrt{3}\\\\=18\sqrt{3}\\\\=31.177$

Hence, the area common to both triangle is 31.77 sq. cm.

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are similar

x/(x+3) = 4/8 cross multiply expressions

8x = 4x + 12

8x - 4x = 12

4x = 12 divide both sides by 4

x = 3
