To find the ratio of the areas of the smaller triangle to the bigger triangle, we need to square the ratio of their corresponding side lengths.
The corresponding side lengths are:
Height:
Smaller triangle: 12
Bigger triangle: 5
Ratio (height): 12/5 = 2.4
Width:
Smaller triangle: 6
Bigger triangle: 3
Ratio (width): 6/3 = 2
Length:
Smaller triangle: 10
Bigger triangle: 2
Ratio (length): 10/2 = 5
Now we square these ratios:
Ratio of heights squared: (2.4)^2 = 5.76
Ratio of widths squared: (2)^2 = 4
Ratio of lengths squared: (5)^2 = 25
Finally, we multiply these squared ratios together to find the overall ratio:
Overall ratio = 5.76 * 4 * 25 = 576
Therefore, the ratio of the smaller triangle's area to the bigger triangle's area is 576:1.
what is the ratio of the smaller triangle in relation to the area of the bigger triangle
big traingle; hieght of 5,9 width of 5,3 and length of 2,3
small traingle: height of 12,6 width of 12,2 and length of 10,2???
