Answer:
i. The ratio of the areas of the two triangles is 5:8.
ii. The area of the larger triangle is 24 in².
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the area of the smaller triangle be represented by , and that of the larger triangle by
.
Area of a triangle = x b x h
Where; b is its base and h the height.
Thus,
a. The ratio of the area of the two triangles is:
Area of smaller triangle = x b x h
= x 5 x h
= h
Area of the lager triangle = x b x h
= x 8 x h
= 4h
So that;
Ratio =
=
The ratio of the areas of the two triangles is 5:8.
b. If the area of the smaller triangle is 15 in², then the area of the larger triangle can be determined as;
=
=
5 = 15 x 8
= 120
=
= 24
The area of the larger triangle is 24 in².
