Comparing Areas of Triangles • (Purple Text) • Comparing Areas of Triangles • 1) If two triangles have equal heights, then the ratio of their areas equals the ratio of their bases. • 2) If two triangles have equal bases, then the ratio of their areas equals the ratio of their heights. • 3) If two triangles are similar then the ratio of their areas equals the square of their scale factor.
Example 1) Look in your book, copy down if needed. • A) with equal height • B) With equal bases C) scale factor
2 examples on the side board& more • Directions: Find the ratio of the areas in each figure below. • 3) The ratio of the corresponding heights of two similar triangles is 3:5. What is the ratio of the corresponding sides? • What is the ratio of the perimeters? • What is the ratio of the areas?
True of False • 4) If two quadrilaterals are similar, then their areas must be in the same ratio as the square of the ratio of their perimeters. • 5) If the ratio of the areas of two equilateral triangles is 1:3, then the ratio of the perimeters is 1: (3)^.5 or the square root of 3. • 6) If the ratio of the perimeters of two rectangles is 4:7, then the ratio of their areas must be 16:49. • 7) If the ratio of the areas of two squares is 3:2 then the ratio of their sides must be (3)^.5 : (2)^.5, square root of both numbers.
