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
