If the areas of two similar triangles are in the ratio 121 : 225, what would be the ratio of the corresponding sides?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 11 : 15.
The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles equals the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles = 121 : 225
Ratio of the corresponding sides = √121 : √225 = 11 : 15
Therefore, the ratio of the corresponding sides of two similar triangles is 11 : 15.
