I don’t know how to figure out the ratio of the areas. The area for HGEF is 60.5 (121/2) and the area for JKLM is 378.125 (3025/8). I know the areas are right because the previous questions says they are. Thank you so much!

Answer:

25 : 4

Explanation:

Given 2 similar figures with ratio of sides = a : b , then

ratio of area = a² : b²

For the given figures the ratio of corresponding sides is

JK : EF = 20 : 8 = 5 : 2 , thus

ratio of areas = 5² : 2² = 25 : 4
