Question

The areas of two similar squares are 16 m2 and 49 m2. What is the scale factor of their side lengths? 4:[?]

Answer 1

The ratio between the areas of 2 similar figures is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides

$\frac{A_1}{A_2}=(\frac{s_1}{s_2})^2_{}$

Since A1 = 16 m^2 and A2 = 49 m^2, then
