You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the ratio of the areas of two squares if the ratio of the lengths of their sides is 2:3
--------------------
Let s and S be the respective sides.
s=2x; S=3x
Their respective areas are a=(2x)^2=4x^2 and A=(3x)^2=9x^2
Then the ratio of their areas is 4:9
