Answer:

Explanation:

let's assume that the corresponding side of the second triangle is .

The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides. Therefore, we can set up the following proportion:

To find , we can solve the proportion above:

Taking the square root of both sides:

Simplifying the square root:

Cross-multiplying:

Dividing both sides by 9:

Calculating the value:

Therefore, the corresponding side of the second triangle is 4.9cm


hope it helped u dear...........

Let's assume that the corresponding side of the second triangle is
\displaystyle\sf x.

The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides. Therefore, we can set up the following proportion:


\displaystyle\sf \left( (x)/(6.3) \right)^(2) =(49)/(81)

To find
\displaystyle\sf x, we can solve the proportion above:


\displaystyle\sf \left( (x)/(6.3) \right)^(2) =(49)/(81)

Taking the square root of both sides:


\displaystyle\sf (x)/(6.3) =\sqrt{(49)/(81)}

Simplifying the square root:


\displaystyle\sf (x)/(6.3) =(7)/(9)

Cross-multiplying:


\displaystyle\sf 9x = 6.3 * 7

Dividing both sides by 9:


\displaystyle\sf x = (6.3 * 7)/(9)

Calculating the value:


\displaystyle\sf x = 4.9

Therefore, the corresponding side of the second triangle is
\displaystyle\sf 4.9 \, cm.
