If the areas of two similar triangles are in the ratio 196 : 625, what would be the ratio of the corresponding sides?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 14 : 25.
Given:
If the areas of two similar triangles are in the ratio 196 : 625.
Concept used:
If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of the area of both triangles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
Calculation:
The ratio of the corresponding sides of the triangle = √(196/625) = 14/25
Hence, the required ratio is 14 : 25
