Question

If the sides of two similar triangles are in the ratio 4:9,then find the areas of these triangles

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ratio of similar triangles =4/9

We know that if two triangles are similar,

ratio of areas is equal to the ratio of squares of the corresponding sides

So, area of triangle 1/ area of triangle 2= (side of triangle 1) ²/ (side of triangle 2) ²

= (4/9) ²

= 16/81

Hence, answer is 16/81
