Answer:
Let the two squares be ; square1 and square 2.
Now,
Let the diagonal of square1 be D1 and the diagonal of square2 be D2.
Then ,
According to the question,
The diagonals of two squares are in ratio 2:5,
=> D1:D2 = 2:5
=> D1/D2 = 2/5 -----(1)
Also,
We know that,
Area of a square = (1/2)(diagonal)^2
Now,
Let the area of square1 be A1 and the area of square2 be A2.
Then, A1 = (1/2)(D1)^2 ------(2)
and A2 = (1/2)(D2)^2 ------(3)
Now,
Dividing eq-(2) by eq-(3)
We get,
=> (A1/A2) = (D1)^2/(D2)^2
=> A1/A2 = (D1/D2)^2
=> A1/A2 = (2/5)^2. {using eq-(1)}
=> A1/A2 = 4/25
=> A1:A2 = 4:25
Thus, the required ratio of the areas of the two squares is 4:25
