Q1 of 95 Page 6

In two similar triangles ABC and DEF, AC = 3 cm and DF = 5 cm. Find the ratio of the areas of the two triangles.

Given: ΔABC ~ ΔDEF and AC = 3 cm and DF = 5 cm

To find: Areas of the two triangles



We know that, the ratio of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
