Given that:- △ABC is an isosceles triangle and ∠ABC=90° ∴AB=BC △ABE∼△ACD(∵All equilateral triangles are similar) To find:- ar(△ACD) ar(△ABE) ​ =? Solution:- In △ABC, Using pythagoras theorem, AC 2 =AB 2 +BC 2 AC 2 =AB 2 +AB 2 [∵AB=AC] AC 2 =2AB 2 .....(i) Now In △ABE and △ACD △ABE∼△ACD(Given), As we know that ratio of area of similar triangles is equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding sides. ∴ ar(△ACD) ar(△ABE) ​ = AC 2 AB 2 ​ ⇒ ar(△ACD) ar(△ABE) ​ = 2AB 2 AB 2 ​ [From(i)] ⇒ ar(△ACD) ar(△ABE) ​ = 2 1 ​ ⇒ar(△ABE):ar(△ACD)=1:2 Hence the ratio between the area of △ABE to the area of △ACD is 1:2.
