\(\triangle PQR \sim \triangle XYZ\) and \(PQ : XY = 3 : 4\). Then \(A(\triangle PQR) : A(\triangle XYZ) = \)
A. 3 : 4
B. 4 : 3
C. 9 : 16
D. 16 : 9
A. 3 : 4
B. 4 : 3
C. 9 : 16
D. 16 : 9
Best answer
Answer: C. 9 : 16
The ratio of the areas of similar triangles is the square of the ratio of corresponding sides: \(3^2 : 4^2 = 9 : 16\).
