Question

12. If area of two similar triangles are in the ratio 25: 64, write the ratio of their corresponding sides.

Answer 1

ratio of Area of two ∆s= 25/64

as

ratio of areas of two ∆s equal to square of corresponding sides

then let x and Y be corresponding sides then

(25/64)=(x/Y)²

(5/8)²=(x/y)²

x:y =5:8

Hence, ratio of corresponding sides = 5:8
