4:25 ..

l1^2:l2^2

2^2:5^2

that should be the answer.
That's the wrong concept :D
Actually you do it only when the triangles are similar, in this case, they are not.
And no, the answer is 2:5 . Dk where the hell did it come from.

ratio of AX:CX as they share the same line.

I am getting the feeling the triangles are similar.

guess .. but i am getting the feeling that this triangle is similar .. give me a minute to look at it clearly.

erm no idea .. It was my guess that the answer would be 2:5 as there are no other lines available which are in both of those triangles! and those two are sharing a line!

No, not stretch. If it was a stretch then there would have been no (6,0) but (6,2) instead. And, the point before y-axis would have moved to further left.
It is ONLY enlargement.
I nt get it still .y wouldnt it be stretch ..?

They are NOT similar, see carefully. :)
Yeah but if a triangle lies in another triangles and they ask for ratio of area ...we have to take the lengths of the same line .thts wht my sir tld me !

I just explained ! :(
the left vertex will be stretched further to the left, if it was stretch, plus the bottom right vertex shouldn't have gone down, just stretched to the right, because one of the axes has to be invariant. Even if its a double stretch, then a diff result will be obtained, you can try yourself. :)

Y cant the line x = -2 be taken as invariant ....?
Oh GOD.
Look at the bottom right vertex. It shouldn't move down and right both at the same time, only in the right direction, because its a one way stretch.
