the areas of two similar polygons are in the ratio 64:81. find the ratio of the corresponding sides.

Respuesta :

Answer is 8:9. The easiest example is a square. If the polygons are squares with areas of 64 and 81 then the sides of the squares are 8 and 9. Therefore, the ratio of the corresponding sides is 8:9

If the areas of two similar polygons are in the ration 64:81, then the ratio of their corresponding sides are [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex]

What are polygons?

"A polygon, in geometry, any closed curve consisting of a set of line segments (sides) connected such that no two segments cross."

The simple polygons are triangles (3 sides), quadrilaterals (4 sides), and pentagons (5 sides).

Now if we take the given polygon as square (4 sides).

Then,

Let the sides of squares are a and b.

[tex]\frac{a^{2} }{b^{2} }=\frac{64}{81} \\\frac{a}{b}=\sqrt{\frac{64}{81} } \\\frac{a}{b}=\frac{8}{9}[/tex]

Hence, the ratio of the corresponding sides of polygon is [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex]
