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.
