Corresponding sides of two similar triangles are in the ratio 4 ∶ 9, then what is the ratio of the areas of these triangles ? |

Answer» Given that the sides of similar triangles are in the ration 4 ∶ 9. We know that “ If two triangles are similar to each other, then the ratio of the areas of these triangles will be equal to the square to the ratio of the corresponding sides of these triangles.” Therefore, ratio between the areas of these triangles = \((\frac{4}{9})^2=\frac{16}{81}=16:81.\) Hence, the ratio between the areas of these triangles is 16 ∶ 81. |
