Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given sides of two Squares such as 2 cm and 6 cm respectively.

Let side of first square be a.

Then, Area of Square = a²

• a² = ( 2cm)²
• Area of Square = 4cm²

Let side of other Square be b.

• Area of Square = b²
• Area of Square = ( 6cm)²
• Area of Square = 36cm²

Now, According to the Question's Statement!

• We have to find ratio of their areas.

Ratio = 4 : 36 => 1:9
