If the area of ABC is 20 cm2, what is the area of PQR? Show your work.
Accepted Solution
A:
Since the triangles are similar, the first thing to do is find the scale factor. We have then: k = 6/4 = 3/2 Then, the area will be given by: A '= k ^ 2 * A Substituting values: A '= ((3/2) ^ 2) * (20) A '= 45 cm ^ 2 Answer: The area of PQR is: A '= 45 cm ^ 2
