Question

The areas of two similar triangles are 25 sq.cm and 16 sq. cm. The ratio of their corresponding sides is?​

Answer 1

Given - Area of two similar truangles are 16 sq.cm and 25 sq.cm

Let the corresponding sides be x and y

As we know , when 2 triangles are similar then the ratio of the areas of the triangles is equal to the square if the ratio of the corresponding sides of the triangle.

So ,

16 : 25 = x^2 : y^2

So , x^2 = 16

$- > x = \sqrt{16}$

$- > x = 4 \: cm$

And , y^2 = 25

$- > y = \sqrt{25}$

$- > y = 5 \: cm$

So , the ratio of their corresponding sides is 4 : 5

I hope it helps u dear friend ☺
