Question

A kindergarten school has square mats in two colors, red and blue. The ratio of the perimeter of the red mat to the perimeter of the blue mat is 2 : 1. The area of the blue mat is 36 square feet.

What is the area of the red mat?

Answer 1

whats a ratino
and then ill help because i have no idea what that means

Answer 2

plus wouldnt the answer be 36 because there both square and there distance isnt far

Answer 3

if linear dimensions are scaled by n, area is scaled by n^2

Since red:blue perimeter is 2:1,

red:blue area is 2^2:1

4*36 = 144

Answer 4

144
