The figures are similar. Give the ratio of the areas of the first figure to the second figure. the small figure is 25yd and the big one is 45yd
To find the ratio of the areas of the two figures, we need to square the ratio of the lengths.
The ratio of the lengths of the first figure to the second figure is 25yd : 45yd = 5:9.
Therefore, the ratio of the areas of the two figures is (5/9)^2 = 25/81.
So, the ratio of the areas of the first figure to the second figure is 25:81.
