Advertisements
Solution
Let the corresponding sides of similar triangles be s1 and s2.
Let A1 and A2 be their corresponding areas.
s1 : s2 = 4 : 7 ......[Given]
∴ `"s"_1/"s"_2= 4/7` ......(i)
by theorem of areas of similar triangles,
`"A"_1/"A"_2 = "s"_1^2/"s"_2^2`
`"A"_1/"A"_2 = ("s"_1/"s"_2)^2`
`"A"_1/"A"_2 = (4/7)^2` ......[From (i)]
`"A"_1/"A"_2 = 16/49`
∴ Ratio of areas of similar triangles = 16 : 49

Prove that, The areas of two triangles with the same height are in proportion to their corresponding bases. To prove this theorem start as follows:
- Draw two triangles, give the names of all points, and show heights.
- Write 'Given' and 'To prove' from the figure drawn.
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`
