hey

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the ratio of the two areas is equal to the square of the scale factor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know what the scale factor is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but we know the ratio, so we can find it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the ratio of the two areas is equal to the square of the scale factor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the square root of the ratio is equal to the scale factor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the square root of 60 over 96

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right, sqrt (60/96)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11975 over32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont think thats right
