Please help!! Very urgent..thank you!!

Answer 1

Answer : 4 times

Here it's given that ,

• The height and base of the butterfly sitting on the stem (red butterfly) is two times greater than the height and base of the butterfly sitting on the flower .

And we need to find out how many times the area of red winged butterfly is greater than that of sitting on the flower (blue butterfly) .

Let us take ,

• base of blue butterfly be b
• height of blue butterfly be h
• Area be A .

Then ,

• base of red butterfly will be 2b .
• height of red butterfly will be 2h .
• Area be A' .

We know that ,

→ area of the triangle = 1/2 × base × height

So that ,

→ A/A' = (1/2 * b * h) ÷ (1/2 *2b *2h)

→ A/A' = bh/4bh

→ A/A' = 1/4

→ A' = 4A

Henceforth the area of blue butterfly is 4 times greater than that of red winged butterfly .

I hope this helps.
