suppose height of first traingle is h
and suppose heigt of second traingle is H

Since, both triangles are congruent as 3 corresponding angles are same

h/H = s/S -----(1)

As per the question

2 times (area of traingle one)=area of triangle two

=> 2*[s*h/2] = S*H/2 ---(2)

Solve eq (1) and (2)

to get S = root2*s
