Q2 of 168 Page 4

Sides of two similar triangles are in the ratio 4 : 9 . Areas of these triangles are in the ratio.

Given sides of two similar triangles are in the ratio 4: 9.


We know that the ratio of areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.



∴ ar (Δ1): ar (Δ2) = 16: 81
