Question
Area of two similar triangles are 98 sq. cm and 128 sq. cm. Find the ratio between the lengths of their corresponding sides.
Solution
We know that the ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding sides.
Required ratio = `sqrt(98/128)`
= `sqrt(49/64)`
= `7/8`
