Question

5)

Find the ratio of the lengths of a pair of corresponding sides
in two similar polygons if the ratio of their areas is 36:121.

Answer 1

6 : 11

Explanation:

Given 2 similar figures with ratio of sides = a : b, then

ratio of areas = a² : b²

Here ratio of areas = 36 : 121, thus

ratio of sides =
`√(36)` :
`√(121)` = 6 : 11
