    Question

    The altitudes of two similar triangles are 4 cm and 6 cm. If the area of the larger triangle is 36 cm? , what will be the area of the other one?

    A.

    16 cm2^2​​

    B.

    36 cm2^2​​

    C.

    49 cm2^2​​

    D.

    25 cm2^2​​

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Altitudes of two similar triangles are 4 cm and 6 cm
    larger triangle is 36 cm
    Formula used:
    Area of the larger triangleArea of the smaller triangle=(Height of the larger)2(Height of the larger)2\frac{Area \ of \ the \ larger \ triangle}{Area \ of \ the \ smaller \ triangle }=\frac{(Height \ of \ the \ larger∆)^2}{(Height \ of \ the \ larger∆)^2}​​
    Solution:
    A1A2=6242 36A2=3616 A2=16\frac{A1}{A2} = \frac{6^2}{4^2} \\\ \\\frac{36}{A2} = \frac{36}{16}\\\ \\A2 = 16

    Then the area of smaller triangle = 16 cm2cm^2​​
