If the ratio of the length is X: Y
Then the ratio of the area is X2: Y2
Example 1:
In the diagram below, if the area of triangle ABC is 48cm2, find the area of triangle XYZ to 3s.f
A X
550
650 600 600
B 12cm C Y 4cm Z
Solution
In ∆ABC, <A = 180 – (65 + 60) = 55

In ∆XYZ, <Y = 180 – (55-60) = 650
Since then corresponding angles are equal, ∆ABC and ∆XYZ are similar

The volume of Similar Shapes
Volume factor = (Scale factor)3
If the ratio of the length is X: Y
Then the ratio of the volume is X3: Y3
Example 2: The ratio of a cylinder of volume 2970cm3 is 30mm. find the volume of a similar cylinder of radius 40mm.
