The area of one square is 64 square inches.
The area of another square is 4 square feet.
What is the ratio of the side of the large square to the side of the small square?
:
Find the side of the 64 sq/in square: sqrt%2864%29 = 8 inches
Find the side of the 4 sq/ft square: sqrt%284%29 = 2' which is 24 inches
24%2F8 = 3:1
