Question

The areas of two similar triangles are $49c{m}^2$ and $64c{m}^2$ respectively. The ratio of their corresponding sides is

• A. 49:64
• B. 7:8
• C. 16:49
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

7:8

If two triangles are similar,
$\frac{{\text{side of first triangle}}^2}{{\text{corresponding side of 2nd triangle}}^2}=\frac{49}{64}$

$\Rightarrow$ Ratio of corresponding sides $=7:8$
