Area ratio is a^2:b^2
Similarity and perimeter ratios are both a:b
4:169=a^2:b^2
a^2=4, a=2
b^2=169, b=13
Therefore area ratio is 2^2:13^2
Similarity and perimeter ratios are 2:13
Area is a function of the square of something, either the side (square) or radius (circle); similarity and perimeter are linear (to the first power).
