A 75 m long piece of wire is cut into two
parts, one being 30 m long. If each part is
bent to form a square, what is the ratio of
the area of the larger square to the smaller
square?​

Answer 1

Length of Wire - 75m

Length of part 1 - 30m

Length of part 2 = 75-30

= 45m

AREA OF SQUARE FORMED BY PART 1 = 30^2

=900 sq.m

AREA OF SQUARE FORMED BY PART 2 = 45^2

= 2025 sq.m

$area \: of \: square \: = \: (side) {}^{2}$

Ratio of the area of the larger square to the smaller square = 2025/900

= 9/4

The ratio is 9:4
