BY=3, YC=2
the ratio of area is proportional to the square of the sides
which would be 3^2/2^2 = 9/4
or as a ratio 9 : 4
i dont seem to understand the concept
Area1/Area2 = (side1)^2/(side2)^2
so 4/9 ?
yes, I had 9/4 since you gave your sides as 3 and 2
Obviously the bigger area goes with the bigger side.
I am sure you can now do the others that are similar to this
