Answer:
a. 4
b. 1/4
c. 16
d. 1/9
e. 4/9
f. 9/16
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the areas is the square of the ratio of the lengths of the sides.
a. Triangles G and F
Select a side in triangle G and the corresponding side in triangle F:
side in F: 10
corresponding side in G: 5
ratio of lengths of F to G = 10/5 = 2
ratio of areas of G to F: (2)^2 = 4
b. Triangles G and B
Select a side in triangle G and the corresponding side in triangle B:
side in G: 5
corresponding side in B: 5/2
ratio of lengths of B to G = (5/2)/5 = 1/2
ratio of areas of B to G: (1/2)^2 = 1/4
c. Triangles B and F
Select a side in triangle B and the corresponding side in triangle F:
side in B: 5/2
corresponding side in F: 10
ratio of lengths of F to B = 10/(5/2) = 4
ratio of areas of F to B: (4)^2 = 16
Do the same for the other 3 pairs of triangles.
The answers are:
d. 1/9
e. 4/9
f. 9/16
