Since the triangles are similar, the ratio of the sides of larger triangle to the smaller triangle is a constant.
That constant =
Since the sides are in that constant proportion, the area of the triangles will also be in proportion.
(Area of larger triangle) over (Area of smaller triangle) =
= 123.6 ≈ 124
Hence, to the nearest whole number the area of smaller triangle is 124 <span>ft</span>²<span>.</span>
