Question

Sides of two similar triangles are in the ratio 5:8 . Areas of these triangles are in the ratio . (A) 5:8 (B) 10: 16 (C)25:64 (D)20:32​

Answer 1

Answer:

C 25:64

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

if a and b are two similar triangles then

area of triangle a/area of triangle b=side a^2/side b^2.

Answer 2

Answer:

25 : 64

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a theorem where it states "The ratio of the areas  of two similar triangles is equal to the  square of the ratio of their  corresponding sides."

So, ar( triangle 1 ) / ar( triangle 2 ) = 5²/8²

ar( triangle 1 ) / ar( triangle 2 ) = 25/64

So the ratio of area of tiangle 1 to triangle 2 is 25 : 64
