Given:

XY âˆ¶ GS = 2 âˆ¶ 3

Concept used:

If two sides and a median bisecting the third side of a triangle are respectively proportional to the corresponding sides and the median of another triangle, then two triangles are similar.

Calculation:

As \(\Delta XYZ \sim \Delta GST\)

So, \(({\frac{{YV}}{{SD}}}) ^2\) = \(({\frac{{XY}}{{GS}}}) ^2\)

⇒ \(({\frac{{2}}{{3}}}) ^2\)

⇒ \(\frac{4}{9}\)

∴ The value of \(({\frac{{YV}}{{SD}}}) ^2\) is \(\frac{4}{9}\).
