Good morning,

Answer:

the area of THe bigger triangle equal to 80.

Explanation:

There are 2 similar triangles with a ratio of 10-40 Then:

the area of THe bigger triangle equal to (40/10)²×(the area of THe smaller one)

then the area of THe bigger triangle equal to 4²×(the area of THe smaller one)

the area of THe bigger triangle equal to 16×(the area of THe smaller one)

the area of THe bigger triangle equal to 16×5

the area of THe bigger triangle equal to 80.
