Question

Two flower beds in a park are similar rectangles of same width. The longest side of the large flower bed is 48 cm long, and the longest side of the small flower bed is 16 cm. If L is the area of the large flower bed and S is the area of the small flower bed, which equation is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

third equation is true

Answer 2

Answer:

S = 1/3 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Width - w

L = Area of Large flower bed

S = Area of small flower bed

∴ L = w . 48  -- (1)

∴ S = w . 16 -- (2)

From (1) and (2), we get,

L/48 = S/16

∴ S = 1/3 L
