do you have all the measurements?
because $$\Delta a=40$$ and $$\Delta b=45$$ don't suffice

anonymous · Answer

thats all that was give.

andriod09 · Answer

okay, so if the ratio is $$8:9$$ then what do you need to find out $$\Delta b?$$

anonymous · Answer

you need to find out the ara but dont you multiply 40 x 40 for that?

andriod09 · Answer

yes. you do, how would the equation look?

anonymous · Answer

for the 40 x 40 it would be 1600 and for 45 x 45 = 2025 & I ve to go to my next class now
