Answer 1

Answer:

9:25

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Ratio of sides = 3:5}\\\\\text{Let side of one square be 3x and the other's side be 5x}\\\\\text{Area of first square = (3x)^2 = 9x^2 }\\\\\text{Area of other square = (5x)^2 25x^2 }\\\\\text{Ratio of areas = 9x^2 \div 25x^2 = 9 \div 25 \: or \: \large \underline{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{9:25}}}} }$

Hope it helps.
