Question

Which ratio represents the area of the smaller rectangle compared to the area of the larger rectangle? (Figure not drawn to scale).

Answer 1

Find the area of the smaller triangle = x(x+2)
Find the area of the bigger triangle = 2x(x2 + 5x+6)

Now divide them to find the ratio

And while you're at it. Factorize the quadratic equation to cancel x(x+2)
