Question

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

Answer 1

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.
