Answer:

a. 4

b. 1/4

c. 16

d. 1/9

e. 4/9

f. 9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the areas is the square of the ratio of the lengths of the sides.

a. Triangles G and F

Select a side in triangle G and the corresponding side in triangle F:

side in F: 10

corresponding side in G: 5

ratio of lengths of F to G = 10/5 = 2

ratio of areas of G to F: (2)^2 = 4

b. Triangles G and B

Select a side in triangle G and the corresponding side in triangle B:

side in G: 5

corresponding side in B: 5/2

ratio of lengths of B to G = (5/2)/5 = 1/2

ratio of areas of B to G: (1/2)^2 = 1/4

c. Triangles B and F

Select a side in triangle B and the corresponding side in triangle F:

side in B: 5/2

corresponding side in F: 10

ratio of lengths of F to B = 10/(5/2) = 4

ratio of areas of F to B: (4)^2 = 16

Do the same for the other 3 pairs of triangles.

The answers are:

d. 1/9

e. 4/9

f. 9/16
