Question

How do I find the ratio of this? It makes no sense to me

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{169}{289}$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

ratio of areas = a² : b²

Here ratio of sides = 52 : 68 = 13 : 17 ← in simplest form, thus

ratio of areas = 13² : 17² = 169 : 289 = $\frac{169}{289}$
