what is the ratio of the smaller triangle in relation to the area of the bigger triangle
big traingle; hieght of 5,9 width of 5,3 and length of 2,3
small traingle: height of 12,6 width of 12,2 and length of 10,2
exact number
To find the ratio of the smaller triangle's area to the bigger triangle's area, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle: A = (1/2) * base * height.
For the big triangle:
A_big = (1/2) * 5 * 9 = 22.5
For the small triangle:
A_small = (1/2) * 12 * 6 = 36
Therefore, the ratio of the smaller triangle's area to the bigger triangle's area is:
36/22.5 = 1.6 (rounded to one decimal place).
So, the ratio is approximately 1.6.
