Answer:

212.5

Explanation:

Here's a theorem about triangle areas.

If two similar triangles have sides in the ratio x:y,

then their areas are in the ratio x2:y2

The triangles have sides in the ratio:

LP/LN = 10/25

The two triangles have areas in the ratio 100:625 (4/25)

For every 4 in the small triangle, there are 25 in the larger triangle.

34/4 = 8.5

25 times 8.5 =212.5
