If the ratio of area of two similar triangles is $\sqrt{3} : \sqrt{2}$ then what is the ratio of the corresponding sides of the two triangles? |
9 : 4 3 : 2 $\sqrt[3]{3} : \sqrt[3]{2}$ $\sqrt[4]{3} : \sqrt[4]{2}$ |
$\sqrt[4]{3} : \sqrt[4]{2}$ |
Formula to be used \(\frac{Area\; of\; first\; triangle}{Area\; of\; second\; triangle}\) = \( {(sides\; of\; first\; triangle\; / corresponding\; sides\; of\; second\; triangle )}^{ 2} \) Calculations \(\frac{√3}{√2}\) = \( {(sides\; of\; first\; triangle\; / corresponding\; sides\; of\; second\; triangle )}^{ 2} \) ⇒ Therefore, the ratio of the corresponding sides of the two triangles is $\sqrt[4]{3} : \sqrt[4]{2}$ |
