Ratio of sides 2

The ratio of the side lengths of one square to another is 1:2. Find the ratio of the area of the two squares.

Result

r =  1:4

Solution:

a1=11+2=13≐0.3333 a2=21+2=23≐0.6667  k=a1/a2=0.3333/0.6667=12=0.5  S1=a12 S2=a22 r=S1/S2=a12:a22=a12:(ka1)2  r=k2=0.52=14=0.25=1:4a_{1}=\dfrac{ 1 }{ 1+2 }=\dfrac{ 1 }{ 3 } \doteq 0.3333 \ \\ a_{2}=\dfrac{ 2 }{ 1+2 }=\dfrac{ 2 }{ 3 } \doteq 0.6667 \ \\ \ \\ k=a_{1}/a_{2}=0.3333/0.6667=\dfrac{ 1 }{ 2 }=0.5 \ \\ \ \\ S_{1}=a_{1}^2 \ \\ S_{2}=a_{2}^2 \ \\ r=S_{1}/S_{2}=a_{1}^2:a_{2}^2=a_{1}^2:(k a_{1})^2 \ \\ \ \\ r=k^2=0.5^2=\dfrac{ 1 }{ 4 }=0.25=1:4
