    • Question

      Given that the perimeters of two similar triangles,

      ∆ABC and ∆DEF, are 24 cm and 9 cm, respectively, and DE = 3 cm, what is the ratio between the area of ∆ABC and that of ∆DEF?
      A 64 : 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 54 : 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 64 : 7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 54 : 7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Perimeter ratio (ABC:DEF) = 24:9 = 8:3 ⇒ Side ratio (ABC:DEF) = 8:3 ⇒ Area ratio = (8:3)² = 64:9
