Hi All,

I have a doubt about the below. Can you please help?

If the triangles are similar, can we say...
The ratio of their area is (side of one triangle)^2 / (side of other triangle)^2

Regards,
Pritish

Yes, in two similar triangles, the ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of their sides.
