Two similar triangles have areas 144 cm squared and 169 cm squared. If a side of the larger triangle is 26 cm, find the length of the corresponding side of the smaller triangle.

144/169= x/26
144 x 26= 169x
3744=169x
x= 22.15

This is the reverse of the other problem. The ratio of the corresponding sides of the two triangles is equal to the square root of the ratio of the areas of the two triangles.
Side = 26*√(144/169) = 26*(12/13) = 24 cm

i could say "particular", the two have a 40 5 degree perspective. For a triangle, all angles ought to upload as much as one hundred eighty ranges. For triangle FSH, perspective F= sixty two, perspective S= 40 5, this ability that perspective H= will equivalent seventy 3. the comparable is going for triangle LVQ. in elementary terms in this triangle, perspective L= seventy 3. hence, those triangles have the comparable perspective measurements. One could be greater than the different, however the angles are each and all of the comparable. stable success!
