The length of the side of square A is twice the length of the side of square B. What is the ratio of the area of square A to the area of square B?​

Sagot :

Let x be the length of the side of square A and y be the length of the side of square B with x = 2 y. Area of A and B are given by

A = x2 and B = y2

But x = 2y. Hence

A = (2y)2 = 4 y2

The ratio of A to B is

4 y2 / y2 = 4 / 1 or 4:1

4:1
