22

Explanation:

Answer 2

The ratio of the areas of these similar rectangles is 5:48.

Explanation:

Let us convert area into fraction.

Ratio of the area of first rectangle to the area of second rectangle =
`(Area of first rectangle)/(Area of second rectangle)`

=
`(25)/(240)`

`= (5)/(48)`

Hence, the ratio of the areas of these similar rectangles is 5:48.
