Question

The are of square fields are respectively 256 and 625 square metres. Find the ratio of their sides.

Answer 1

Area of square1=256 Length of side of square1=sq.rt of 256 =16   Area of square2=625   Length of side of square2=sq.rt of 625 =25   Ratio of sides 16/25=16:25

Answer 2

area of the square field=256 and 625 m²
area of the square= (side)²
A1=256m²
A2=625m²
(side)²=256
side=√256
side=16m
so S1=16m
(side)²=625
(side)=√625
side=25
so S2=25m
ratio of their sides=S1:S2
=16/25
=16:25
so the ratio of their sides=16:25
