Question

HELP PLEASE. If the triangles are similar, which ratio shows the relationship of the area of the larger triangle to the area of the smaller triangle?



3:2

2:1

3:4

4:1

Answer 1

Area for the triangle is given by: 1/2 * b * h..

so if u take raito of larger to smaller triangle = (6 * 4)/ (3 * 2) = 4:1.. option D..

Answer 2

okay, thanks! for some reason I got 24:6 .....1/2 (6)(4)=24 & 1/2 (3)(12)=6

Answer 3

So thats eventually 4:1...
