It is one-thirty fifth of the surface area of the first recycle bin. It is one-fifty fifth of the surface area of the first recycle bin. It is one-forty fifth of the surface area of the first recycle bin.
i think its the first one ?
if sides are in ratio 1: 5 ( first: sec on) the area are in the ratio of squares of the sides
right :- 5^2 = 25
so its 1/5 ?
no first one says one twenty fifth ( 1 / 5^2 = 1/25)
u were right - its the first one
