उत्तर

Let the areas of two similar triangles be A1, A2 and their corresponding sides be S1, S2 respectively.

∴ `(A_1)/(A_2) = 144/49`    ...(i)[Given]

∴ `(A_1)/(A_2) = (S_1^2)/(S_2^2)`   ...[Theorem of areas of similar triangles]

∴ `144/49 = (S_1^2)/(S_2^2)`    ...[From (i)]

∴ `(S_1)/(S_2) = 12/7`   ...[Taking square root of both sides]

∴ The ratio of the corresponding sides of the given triangles is 12 : 7.

ΔPQS and ΔQRS having seg QS common base.

Areas of two triangles whose base is common are in proportion of their corresponding `square`.

`(A(ΔPQS))/(A(ΔQRS)) = (square)/(NR)`,

`100/110 = (square)/(NR)`,

NR = `square` cm

Prove that, The areas of two triangles with the same height are in proportion to their corresponding bases. To prove this theorem start as follows:

  1. Draw two triangles, give the names of all points, and show heights.
  2. Write 'Given' and 'To prove' from the figure drawn.

In the figure, PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC. To find the ratio of A(ΔPQB) and A(ΔPBC), complete the following activity.


Given: PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC

Now, A(ΔPQB)  = `1/2 xx square xx square`

A(ΔPBC)  = `1/2 xx square xx square`

Therefore, 

`(A(ΔPQB))/(A(ΔPBC)) = (1/2 xx square xx square)/(1/2 xx square xx square)`

= `square/square`
