Answer:
The ratio of the areas of the smaller rectangle to the larger rectangle is
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
if two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Let
z-----> the scale factor
x-----> the area of the smaller rectangle
y----> the area of the larger rectangle
so
substitute the values
simplify
That means, the area of the larger rectangle is 9 times the area of the smaller rectangle
------> the scale factor
That means, the dimensions of the larger rectangle is 3 times the dimensions of the smaller rectangle
