Given:

The two similar triangles are given.

To find:

The ratio (red to blue) of the corresponding side lengths of the similar triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take the length of the one side of the red triangle.


s=8

The length of the corresponding side in the blue triangle is,


S=20

So, the ratio from red to blue is,


\begin{gathered} (s)/(S)=(8)/(20) \\ =(2)/(5) \\ =2:5 \end{gathered}

Final answer:

The ratio (red to blue) of the corresponding side lengths of the similar is 2:5.
