Question 891804: If the ratio of the areas of two squares is 4:9, then the ratio of their perimeters is- OPTIONS: A. 2:3, B. 1:2^3, C. 2^:6^, D. 3^2:1

A square with area 4 has side lengths of 2 since s^2 = area
A square with area 9 has side lengths of 3 since s^2 = area
The perimeter of a square with side length 2 is 4*2
The perimeter of a square with side length 3 is 4*3
So ratio of the perimeters is 2:3
