Use the image to answer the question.

A graph showing two triangles on a coordinate plane.

What is the ratio of the area of the smaller triangle in relation to the area of the larger triangle?

I can't see the image — could you upload it or type the coordinates/labels of the two triangles?

Meanwhile, here are two quick ways you can get the area ratio:

1. If the triangles are similar (same shape, different size): find the ratio of any pair of corresponding side lengths r. The area ratio (smaller : larger) = r^2.

2. If you have coordinates for triangle vertices: compute each triangle's area with the shoelace/determinant formula
Area = 1/2 | x1(y2−y3) + x2(y3−y1) + x3(y1−y2) |,
then form the ratio (smaller area)/(larger area).

Send the picture or the vertex coordinates and I’ll compute the ratio for you.
