90 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor between triangle ABC and triangle PQR is 4:6 or  2:3

The scale factor is 2/3

When relating areas, we use the scale factor squared

Area of ABC = scale factor squared * Area of PQR

40 =  (2/3) ^2 Area of PQR

40  =4/9 Area of PQR

Multiply each side by 9/4

40 *9/4 = 9/4 *4/9 * Area of PQR

90 = Area of PQR

When we work with lengths of similar figures, we multiply by the scale factor.

When we work with areas of similar figures, we have a length and a width, so we are really multiplying by the scale factor two times, or the scale factor squared.

A = l*w

A = SF (l) * SF (w)

  = SF ^2 lw

So the area of the new  figure is the scale factor squared times the area of the old figure.

A new = SF^2 A old

To get from the old figure to the new figure we multiply by 6/4 or 3/2

A new =  (3/2)^2 (40)

A new = 9/4 * 40

           = 90
