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

hint: the ratio of area is the square of the ratio of sides. therefore if the ratio of areas is 9 : 1 then the ratio of sides will be 3 : 1 :D

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

did you understand that @smileymichelle1996

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kinda. Can you put it in more of a easy way. Im not very good at math

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like i don't understand 1:2 kinda thing. What is it?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

oh lol sorry..that was ratio...okay let me rephrase the area of the bigger square is 9 times than the smaller square. do you know the area of a square?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, they don't really give you any numbers so i guess you just say the areaof the bigger square is 9 times greater than the area of the smaller square

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

no..im just asking if you know the area of a square?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

the area of a square is side x side or simply \(side^2') okay?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\(side^2\) *
