Question

The ratio of areas between two similar triangles is 1:4. if one side of the smaller triangle is 2 units, find the measure of the corresponding side of the other triangle.

Answer 1

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

Answer 2

so ratio of sides = ?

Answer 3

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4} = (\frac{ 2 }{ x })^2\]

what i got there is x=4
so the measure of the corresponding side of the trangle is 4 units?

Answer 4

yes!

Answer 5

thank you for the equation ! :))

Answer 6

welcome ^_^
