To find the ratio of the smaller triangle's area to the bigger triangle's area, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle: A = (1/2) * base * height.
For the big triangle:
A_big = (1/2) * 5 * 9 = 22.5
For the small triangle:
A_small = (1/2) * 12 * 6 = 36
Therefore, the ratio of the smaller triangle's area to the bigger triangle's area is:
36/22.5 = 1.6 (rounded to one decimal place).
So, the ratio is approximately 1.6.
