∆XYZ and ∆PQR are similar. XY : PQ = 6 : 1. Area of ∆PQR is 6 cm2. What is the area of ∆XYZ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 216 cm2
Area of ΔPQR = 6 cm2
XY : PQ = 6 : 1
Area of ΔXYZ/Area of ΔPQR = (XY/PQ)2
Area of ΔXYZ/6 = (6/1)2
Area of ΔXYZ = (36/1) × 6 = 216 cm2
