The ratio of the area of two square, one having and double its diagonal than the other is?
Correct Answer: 4:1
Explanation:
Let the diagonal of one square be (2d) cm
Then, diagonal of another square = d cm ∴ Area of first square = [ 1/2 x (2d)2] cm2
Area of second square = (1/2 x d2) cm2 ∴ Ratio of area = (2d)2/ d2
= 4/1 = 4: 1
