We know that the base of Triangle P is 8 meters and the base of a similar Triangle Q is 7 meters. Let's start by drawing these triangles in a coordinate plane!
In the given similar figures, the lengths of two corresponding sides are 8 and 7. Therefore, we can say that the ratio between the corresponding side lengths is 8 7. The ratio of the areas is the same as the ratio of the corresponding side lengths squared.
