Question

A floor has two square-shaped designs. The area of the second square-shaped design is nine times greater than the area of the first square-shaped design. Which statement gives the correct relationship between the lengths of the sides of the two squares?

The length of the side of the second square is 9 times greater than the length of the side of the first square.
The length of the side of the second square is 6 times greater than the length of the side of the first square.
The length of the side of the second square is 3 times greater than the length of the side of the first squar

Answer 1

Lets say the area of one square is 4 . Then that makes the area of the other 36 (Since its 9 times greater)
Find the length of the sides . We know that the area of a square is A=s^2
A is already given so we take the square root of the areas to find the length of one side

sqrt 4 = 2 sqrt 36= 6

How many times is greater is 6 compared to 2?

Answer 2

wait no 3 times

Answer 3

yep :D

Answer 4

thanks
