Given:

The ratio of corresponding sides of two similar triangles\(\sqrt{5} : \sqrt{7}\).

Concept used:

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of the area of both triangles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.

Calculation:

​According to the concept,

Now, the ratio of the area of the two triangles

⇒ \(({\sqrt5})^2:({\sqrt7})^2\)

⇒ 5 : 7

∴ The ratio of the area of the two triangles is 5 : 7.
