Question

The ratio of the perimeters of two squares is 2:3. If the

area of the larger square is 324 square feet, what is the
length, in feet, of the side of the smaller square?

Answer 1

12 ft

Explanation:

square root of 324 = 18

Side =18 18x18= 324

18/3 = 6

6x2=12

side small = 12

18x4 = 72 (perimeter big)

12x4 =48 (perimeter small)

2:3

48:72
