The ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles is 3 : 5; then find the ratio
of their areas.​

Answer 1

the ratio of the area is 9:16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles is S 1 : S 2 =3:5

since the triangles are similar then

$\frac{a1}{a2} = ( \frac{s1}{s2}) {}^{2} = ( \frac{3}{5} ) {}^{2} = \frac{9}{16}$

the ratio of the area is 9:16
