Question

The ratio of the areas of two similar polygons is 225:25. What is the ratio of their corresponding sides?

Answer 1

\[\frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{(L_1)^2}{(L_2)^2}\]

Answer 2

What? Shouldnt it be something like 2:1 or similar?

Answer 3

brb

Answer 4

Alright.

Answer 5

Ratio of areas = a^2: b^2
Ratio of sides = a:b

In this case...
Ratio of areas = (15)^2: (5)^2
Ratio of sides = 15:5

simple

Answer 6

Ahh I see now. Thanks buddy.

Answer 7

By the way,
Ratio of volume is a^3:b^3

...Just in case you need that. You will need it at some point

Answer 8

Thanks, I wrote it down.
