asked 05/16/19Two right triangles are similar. The base of the larger triangle is 4 times the size of the base of the smaller triangle. The height of the larger triangle is 16cm. The area of the smaller triangle is 6cm². A) what is the area of the larger triangle? B) what is the length of the hypotenuse of each triangle?
Plz someone explain how to solve this I'm so confused.
