first of all, you have to know the ratio of the two sides of triangles first.
Do you know what it is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, so they give you two sides, they want a ratio of the bigger triangle to the smaller one.
So you take the side of the bigger triangle and divide by the smaller one. that's your ratio of triangles' sides

6:1??
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
formula is:----\[Ar.(\Delta 1)/Ar.(\Delta2)=(side1)^2/(Side2)^2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
idk wat dat is??
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
\[(12)^2/(2)^2=144/4=36/1\] ; i.e;
36:1.
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
It is the answer:)---
36:1.
