If the ratio of the sides is a/b, then the ratio of the areas is (a^2)/(b^2) In our case, a^2 = 25, so a = 5. Also, b^2 = 36 which means b = 6 So the ratio of a pair of corresponding sides is 5/6

The ratio of the two corresponding side of two similar triangle is equal to the square root of the ratio of the area of the two triangle..so ratio is 5:8

For two similar triangles the ratio of their areas let ( A1,A2)= square of their sides (a1,a2). A1/A2=(a1/a2)^2=25:64 this implies a1/a2=5/8

Let the base and height of triangles are b,h and B,H respectively. The ratio of the area=25:64 => (b*h)/(B*H) = 25/64 => (b/B)*(h/H) = 25/64 ............(1) Since the triangles are similar, the ratio between corresponding side are equal. => b/B = h/H .........................(2) applying...

If m and n are odd positive integers, then m2 + n2 is even, but not divisible by 4. Justify.
Since m is odd positive integer then we can write m=2a+1 and n=2b+1, such that a,b >0 m2+n2=(2a+1)^2+(2b+1)^2 = 4a^2+1+4a+4b^2+1+4b = 4a^2+4b^2+4a+4b+2 = 2(2a^2+2b^2+2a+2b+1) Above eqn is divisible by 2 but not divisible by 4.
