anonymous · Answer

XY = 2, AC = 3. The ratio of the lengths is 2/3, so the ratio of the area is 22/32 = ? its 4/9 not 9/4 i think. pretty sure :)

did it mark it wrong? or did you get it right ?

anonymous · Answer

i have 9:4 it was wrong cus i had it backward 4/9 was the right answer thank u so much
