Tags: Similar Triangles · Easy · source: Original (AMC-style)
If two triangles are similar with ratio 2:3, and the smaller triangle has area 4, what is the area of the larger triangle?
A) $6$ B) $8$ C) $9$ D) $12$ E) $16$
Answer & Solution
Answer: C
Area ratio = (side ratio)² = $(2/3)^2 = 4/9$. So larger area = $4 \times (9/4) = 9$.
