If two similar triangles have a scale factor of 2:3, and the smaller has area 16, what is the area of the larger?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
Area ratio = (scale factor)² = (2/3)² = 4/9. If smaller = 16, then 16/larger = 4/9; larger = 36.
Area ratio = (scale factor)² = (2/3)² = 4/9. If smaller = 16, then 16/larger = 4/9; larger = 36.
