Hi ,

**************************************
The ratio of the areas of two similar

triangles is equal to the ratio of the

squares of their corresponding sides.

***************************************

It is given that ,

∆ABC ~ ∆PQR

Area of ∆ABC = 36

Area of ∆PQR = 64

AB = 12 , PQ = ?

PQ²/AB² = ( ∆PQR )/( ∆ABC )

PQ²/12² = 64/36

PQ² = ( 64 × 144 )/36

= 64 × 4

PQ = √ 256

PQ = 16

I hope this helps you.
