One way of determining the ratio of the areas of two figures is to calculate the quotient of the two areas.
Steps:
1.Set up fraction
2.Write formulas
3.Plug in numbers
4.Solve and label with units
1. Ratio AA
2. A = b1h1
A = 1/2b2h2
3. = 9•10 1/2 • 8 •12= 90

When AB = 5 and BC = 2
2. ABC = 1/2b1hCBD = 1/2b2h
3. = ½(5)h ½(2)h
1. Ratio ABDCBD
4. 5:2 or 5/2
Similar triangles:
Ratio of any pair of corresponding , altitudes, medians, angle bisectors, equals the ratio of their corresponding sides.
Given ∆ PQR ∆WXY
Find the ratio of the area.
First find the ratio of the sides.

Ratio of area: A PQR = 1/2 b1h1 AWXY
1/2 b2h2
= b1h1

= 3•32•2
= 94
Because they are similar triangles the ratios of the sides and heights are the same.
Area ratio is the sides ratio squared!
Theorem 109: If 2 figures are similar, then the ratio of their areas equals the square of the ratio of the corresponding segments. (similar-figures Theorem)A1 = S1 2 A2 S2
When A1 and A2 are areas and S1 and S2 are measures of corresponding segments.
Given the similar pentagons shown, find the ratio of their areas.
S1 = 12S2 9
= 4 3
A1 = 4 2 A2 3
= 16 9
If the ratio of the areas of two similar parallelograms is 49:121, find the ratio of their bases.

Corresponding Segments include:
Sides, altitudes, medians, diagonals, and radii.
Ex. AM is the median of ∆ABC. Find the ratio of
A ∆ ABM : A ∆ACM
A
CMB
Notice these are not similar figures!

1. Altitude from A is congruent for both triangles. Label it X.
2. BM = MC because AM is a median.
Let y = BM and MC.A∆ABM = 1/2 b1h1
A ∆ACM 1/2 b2h2
= 1/2 xy1/2 xy
= 1
Therefore the ratio is 1:1 They are equal !
Theorem 110: The median of a triangle divides the triangle into two triangles with equal area.
