Question
One square has sides $6 \mathrm{cm}$ long. Another has sides $9 \mathrm{cm}$ long. Find the ratio of the areas of the squares.
Step 1
The formula for the area of a square is given by \( \text{Area} = \text{side} \times \text{side} \). For the first square with side length \( 6 \, \text{cm} \), the area is: \[ 6 \, \text{cm} \times 6 \, \text{cm} = 36 \, \text{cm}^2 \] Show more…
