Question

The ratio of the sides of two similar triangles is 3:4. If the area of the larger triangle is 64 sq.in., what is the number of square inches in the area of the smaller triangle?

Answer 1

(x/64)=(3/4)

Answer 2

Is it not different for area than it is for perimeter?

Answer 3

I would do cross multiplication for this (but I may be wrong)

Answer 4

Ok thank you

Answer 5

so my answer would be 48 which is smaller than 64 which is good since we are looking for the sq.in in the smaller triangle
