Question

Two triangles have a scale factor of 5:7, If the area of the smaller triangle is 225cm squared what is the area of the larger triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

441

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of sidelengths squares is the ratio of the areas, so the ratio of the area of the smaller triangle's area to the larger triangle's is 25:49.

Using ratios, you figure out that the area of the larger triangle must be 225/25 *49, which is equal to 9*49 = 441
