The ratio of the perimeter of two similar squares is 5 to 4. If the area of the smaller square is 32 square units, what is the area of the larger square?

It's 50 sq units.
The ration of areas is equal to the square of the ratios of lengths, so you can use:\[\frac{5^2}{4^2}=\frac{x}{32}\]and solve for x. @Mertsj I /believe/ you got the right-hand-side fraction inverted?
*ratio NOT ration
Oh, yes, I did. Thanks asnaseer
