The ratio of the areas is 81 : 49, so the ratio of corresponding sides is 9 : 7. Hence the side is 27 × 7 ÷ 9 = 21 cm.

Similarity
Assertion: all squares are similar to one another. Reason: in any two squares the corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sides are proportional. State whether both are true and whether the reason explains the assertion.
