similar triangles have their respectives sides as well as height to the base set in certain proportion. Here, the proportion is multiplied by 3 for all sides, even though it does say about only one side. Area includes base*height/2 and correspondingly 3*3/2=4.5
Quantity A: 25*4.5
Quantity B: 75
Quantity A>Quantity B and answer is \(A\)
Quantity A: 25*4.5
Quantity B: 75
Quantity A>Quantity B and answer is \(A\)
