Question

16. Sides of two similar triangles are in
the ratio 3:5. Areas of these triangles
are in the ratio is
a) 3:5
b) 9:25
c) 25:9
d) 5:3​

Answer 1

Answer:

According to theoram

area of 1st ∆/area of 2nd∆ = (side of 1st∆/side of 2nd ∆)^2

i.e. area of 1st ∆/area of 2nd∆ = (3/5)^2

i.e. area of 1st ∆/area of 2nd∆ = 9/25

Therefore b is correct option i.e. 9:25
