b)The areas of two similar triangles are in the ratio 16:25. If the length of a side of the larger triangle is 35m, find the length of the corresponding side of the smaller triangle.
--------------------------------

The ratio betweeen their side lengths or perimeters is sqrt%2816%29 : sqrt%2825%29 or 4:5.

4%2F5=x%2F35
x=%284%2F5%29%2A35
