Answer 1

To find the ratio of the areas of the larger figure (32) to the smaller figure (26), you can use the following steps:

1. Identify the areas of the two figures.
- The area of the larger figure is 32.
- The area of the smaller figure is 26.

2. Form the ratio of these areas by placing the area of the larger figure as the numerator and the area of the smaller figure as the denominator.

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Area of the larger figure}}{\text{Area of the smaller figure}} = \frac{32}{26} \]

3. Simplify the ratio, if possible.

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{32}{26} = \frac{16}{13} \]

Therefore, the ratio of the areas of the larger figure to the smaller figure is \( \frac{16}{13} \).
