Thus, the ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides. Note: In this question, students should write the sides of the triangles appropriately. Since the general area of any triangle is \[{\text{Area = }}\dfrac{1}{2} \times {\text{Base}} \times {\text{Height}}\], so we need to construct the perpendicular triangles for height. Students should know that when two triangles are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides are same with the ratio of their corresponding altitudes and sides. The measurement of their corresponding angles is also the same.Read Less |
