the ratio between two similar triangles is 1:4. If one side of the smaller triangle is 2 units, find the measure of the correspondding side of the other angle? tnx.

Parth (parthkohli):

\[{1 \over 4} = {2 \over \rm x}\]

1: 4 means 1 to 4 ie the relevant measures of one are 4 times the other (or the other way about, one is a quarter of the other)
