Question

The areas of squares P and Q are in the ratio of 4 : 9. If P’s area is 16 sq cm, then find the side of square Q.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the area of Q be x².

» 4/9 = 16/x²

» 2/3 = 4/x

» x = 6

Therefore, area of square Q is 6 cm²

Answer 2

Answer:

(16:x)=(4:9)

(16/x)=(4/9)

x=(16×9)/4

x=36
