Any reason why you are capitalizing every word?
Assuming your garbled last sentence is something like:
"If one of the sides of the first triangle is 6 cm, what is the length of the corresponding side of the second triangle ? "
Areas of similar triangles are proportional to the square of their corresponding sides, so
6^2/x^2 = 144/81
take the square root of both sides:
6/x = 12/9
12x = 54
x = 54/12 = 9/2
the corresponding side is 4.5 cm
