The ratio of the perimeters of two similar triangles is 4:3. What are the areas of these triangles if the sum of their areas is 130cm2?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the areas of these triangles are 83.2cm² and 46.8cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If the triangles are similar and the ratio of the perimeter ois 4:3, then the areas are in the following ratio:

4²:3²

 16:9                                                                      

2. The sum of their areas is 65 cm², then, you can calculate the area of the larger triangle as following:

130(16/16+9)

130(0.64)

=83.2cm²

3. The area of the smaller triangle is:

130(9/16+9)

130(0.36)

46.8cm²

Hope this helps

The area of the larger triangle is 83.2 and the smaller triangle is 46.8 square centimeters.

Given

The ratio of the perimeters of two similar triangles is 4:3.

The sum of their areas is 130cm2.

Area of the triangle;

The area of a triangle is the region enclosed within the sides of the triangle.

The ratio of the perimeter is 4:3.

Then the areas are in the following ratio:

[tex]=\dfrac{4^2}{3^2}\\\\=\dfrac{16}{9}[/tex]

The area of the larger triangle is;

[tex]\rm Area \ of \ larger \ triangle=(Sum \ of \ both \ triangles \ area ) \times \dfrac{Ratio \ of \ larger \ triangle}{larger \ triangle + smaller \ triangle}\\\\ Area \ of \ larger \ triangle=(130) \times \dfrac{16}{16+9}\\\\ Area \ of \ larger \ triangle=130\times \dfrac{16}{25}\\\\ Area \ of \ larger \ triangle=130\times 0.64\\\\ Area \ of \ larger \ triangle=83.2[/tex]

The area of the smaller triangle is;

[tex]\rm Area \ of \ larger \ triangle=(Sum \ of \ both \ triangles \ area ) \times \dfrac{Ratio \ of \ larger \ triangle}{larger \ triangle + smaller \ triangle}\\\\ Area \ of \ smaller \ triangle=(130) \times \dfrac{9}{16+9}\\\\ Area \ of \ larger \ triangle=130\times \dfrac{9}{25}\\\\ Area \ of \ larger \ triangle=130\times 0.36\\\\ Area \ of \ larger \ triangle=46.8[/tex]

Hence, the area of the larger triangle is 83.2 and the smaller triangle is 46.8 square centimeters.
