Question

Two triangles ABC and PQR are similar and the ratio of their areas is given as 1:4 respectively. If PQ = 8cm, then find the side AB?​

Answer 1

Answer:

AB =4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

given ratio of similar triangles = 1/4

ratio of areas of similar triangles = square of ratio of sides

so root of 1/4 = 1/2 =AB/ PQ

1/2 = X/8.

so here X = AB and so AB = 4 CM
