Solution

Draw RE ⊥ TS, T-E-S

ΔRTP and ΔRPS have same height RE.

`"A(ΔRTP)"/"A(ΔRPS)" = "TP"/"PS"`   ......[Triangles having equal height]

`"A(ΔRTP)"/"A(ΔRPS)" = 10/6`    .....[Given]

∴ `"A(ΔRTP)"/"A(ΔRPS)" = 5/3`

In the figure, PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC. To find the ratio of A(ΔPQB) and A(ΔPBC), complete the following activity.


Given: PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC

Now, A(ΔPQB)  = `1/2 xx square xx square`

A(ΔPBC)  = `1/2 xx square xx square`

Therefore, 

`(A(ΔPQB))/(A(ΔPBC)) = (1/2 xx square xx square)/(1/2 xx square xx square)`

= `square/square`
