Answer:

The Answer is: The area of Square B is 36 square inches.

Explanation:

Ratio of side lengths of square A to B is 2:3

Perimeter of Square A is 16 Inches.

One side of Square a is 16/4 = 4 inches

Set up an equation, multiply, and solve for x:

2/3 = 4/x

2x = 12

x = 6

Area of Square B is (6)(6) = 36 square inches.

Hope this helps!! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)
