It is given that the areas of two similar triangles are 121 cm² and 64 cm² respectively.
The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of the corresponding medians
We can write that, area of first trianglearea of second triangle=median of first triangle2median of second triangle2
If the median of the first triangle is 12.1, then the corresponding median of the other can be found by substituting the given values in the above equation.
  121 64 = 12.1 2 x 2 x 2 = 12.1 2 ×64 121 x= 12.1 2 ×64 121 11 10 ×8  
  8.8cm  
Hence, the correct option is 1.
