Question 965185: the ratio of the 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 by amarjeeth123(569) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In two similar triangles, the ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of their sides.
Ratio of the areas=1:4
Ratio of the sides=1:2
If one side of the smaller triangle is 2 units, the corresponding side on the larger triangle=2(2)=4 units
Answer=4 units.
