Ratio of Areas
Comparing Areas of Triangles
If two triangles have equal heights, then the ratio of
their areas equals the ratio of their bases.
A = ½(10)(12) = 60

Comparing Areas of Triangles
If two triangles have equal bases, then the ratio of
their areas equals the ratio of their heights.

Comparing Areas of Triangles
If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of their
areas equals the square of their scale factor.
P = 12 + 16 + 20 = 48
P = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24
A = ½(12)(16) = 96
