Maybe because you're finding the "difference" between the two numbers. We could also question why the answer to an addition problem is called sum.
Well, 'sum'body said that's what they should be called a long time ago, that's why we're using that term to call them now.

Answer:

B. The ratio of the area of the scale drawing to the area of the painting is 1:16

C. The ratio of the perimeter of the scale drawing to the perimeter of the painting is 1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the area of similar figures/shapes = the square of the ratio of any of their side lengths

Since the scale drawing of the rectangular painting and the actual rectangular painting are similar, therefore,

The ratio of the area of the scale drawing to the painting = 1²:4²

= 1:16

Also, comparing the ratio of the perimeter of the scale drawing to the perimeter of the painting will be the same as the scale factor = 1:4
