Answer to Problem 6E
216 square centimeters
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The sides of two similar triangles are in the ratio of 3:5. The area of the larger triangle is 600 square centimeters.
Calculation:
Let
We know that if the two triangles are similar , then ratio of the area of both the triangles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
Therefore,
Now, area of bigger triangle is 600 square centimeters, that is
Therefore, we have
Thus, area of smaller triangle is 216 square centimeters.
