You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides of two similar triangles is 2 : 3, and the area of the smaller triangle is 36 in.2, what is the area of the larger triangle?
-----------------
The larger is 36 times the ratio squared
A = 36*1.5^2
A = 81 sq inches
