Question

In this figure ST || QR, PT = 4cm, TR = 8cm, area of PQR = 90cm^2. Find PT:TR please help me ​

Answer 1

Answer: The required ratio is PT:TR = 1:2.

Explanation:

Given: In triangle PQR, ST || QR, PT = 4cm, TR = 8cm, area of PQR = 90 cm².

To find : PT:TR

.i.e. Ratio of PT to TR.

Here, PT:TR
`=(PT)/(TR)`

`=(4\ cm)/(8\ cm)`

Divide numerator and denominator by 4 , we get

`(1)/(2)`

Therefore, the required ratio is PT:TR = 1:2.
