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.

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:
- Draw two triangles, give the names of all points, and show heights.
- 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`
