प्रश्न
The areas of two similar triangles are 169cm2 and 121cm2 respectively. If the longest side of the larger triangle is 26cm, find the longest side of the smaller triangle.
उत्तर
It is given that the triangles are similar.
Therefore, the ratio of the areas of these triangles will be equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding sides.
Let the longest side of smaller triangle be X cm.
`(ar("Larger triangle"))/(ar("Smaller triangle"))=(("'Longest side of larger trainglle" )^2)/((L"ongest side of smaller trainglle")^2)`
⇒ `169/121=26^2/x^2`
⇒ `x= sqrt((26xx26xx121)/169)`
= 22
Hence, the longest side of the smaller triangle is 22 cm.
