Question

The sides of two squares are in the ratio 5:7. Find the ratio of their areas.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common factor of the sides of the squares given in the ratio be x.

Multiply both by x.

It gives:

5x:7x

Now, we already know that the area of square is side into side that is: (side)²

So here, once the rule is applied, we get...

(5x)²:(7x)²

The ratio of the areas will be...

25x²:49x²
