Two similar polygons have areas of 16 square inches and 64 square inches. The ratio of a pair of corresponding sides is 1/4.

Question

True
False

its true?

Answer 1

No, it's not.

With similar figures, the ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of sides (or other linear dimensions such as the apothem, height, etc.)

Similarly, the ratio of volumes of similar solids varies with the cubes of the linear dimensions.

Here, the ratio of area is 64/16=4, and 4 is the square of 2. So the ratio of the sides is....

Answer 2

False
