Question

The area of triangle ABC is divided into four equal parts by segments parallel to the base BC. DC is 36 cm. A is the top point of the triangle.

What is the ratio of the dimensions of triangle ADE to the dimensions of triangle ABC?
Notice you have similar triangles.

In more than one of your previous posts, I have shown you that the
areas of similar shapes are proportional to the SQUARES of their corresponding sides.

Apply that principle here.
I see. I understand now. Thanks for your support.
