a piece of paper is in the shape of a right angled triangle and is cut along a line that is parallel to the hypotenuse , leaving a smaller triangle . there was a 35 % reduction in the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle . if the area of the original triangle was 34 square inches before the cut , what is the area ( in square inches ) of the smaller triangle ?
explanation : smaller triangle and original triangle will be similar to each other . ratio of area = ( ratio of side ) 2 area of smaller triangle = area of original triangle * ( 65 / 100 ) 2 = 14.365 . answer : d
multiply(power(subtract(const_1, divide(35, const_100)), const_2), 34)
