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
As we know that
The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles = The ratio of the squares of the corresponding sides
The corresponding sides = √(196/625) = 14/25
Hence, the ratio is 14: 25
