Q42 of 186 Page 263

In an equilateral ΔABC, D is the midpoint of AB and E is the midpoint ar(ΔABC): ar(ΔADE) = ?

Given that D and E are of AB and AC respectively,
Therefore,


Δ ABCΔ ADE
If two triangles are similar, the ratio of the area of triangle is equal to the square of the ratio of the sides.
∴ The correct option is (b).

It is given that ΔABC ~ Δ PQR and then = ?

 43

In ΔABC and ΔDEF, we have , then ar (ΔABC): ar (ΔDEF) = ?

 44

ΔABC ~ Δ DEF such that ar(ΔABC) = 36 cm2 and ar(ΔDEF) = 49 cm2. Then, the ratio of their corresponding sides is
