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
did you understand that @smileymichelle1996
kinda. Can you put it in more of a easy way. Im not very good at math
what do you mean?
like i don't understand 1:2 kinda thing. What is it?
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?
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
no..im just asking if you know the area of a square?
no
the area of a square is side x side or simply \(side^2') okay?
\(side^2\) *
oh ok thanks!!!
