Given that Ciera is creating a logo on the figure grid, let's find the area of inner square to the area of the outter square.
• Area of inner square:
Let's first find the length of one side of the inner square.
Take two end points:
(x1, y1) ==> (0, 4)
(x2, y2) ==> (4, 10)
Apply the distance formula:
The length of one side of the inner square is 7.2 units.
To find the area, apply the formula:
Where:
l = 7.2 units
We have:
Therefore, the area of the inner square is 52 square units.
• Area of the outer square:
From the graph, the length of one side of the outer square is:
L = 10 units.
The area will be:
The area of the outer square is 100 square units.
• Ratio of area of inner square to area of outer square:
For the ratio, we have:
Therefore, the ratio of the area inner square to the area of the outer square is 13 : 25
ANSWER:
The area of the inner square is: 52 square units
The area of the outer square is: 100 square units
The ratio of the area of the inner square to the area of the outer square is: 13 : 25
