Solution
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.
