The area of a square is found by squaring the length of one of its sides.
The area of the smaller square is x² cm².
Since the larger square has sides 5 times as long as the smaller square, its sides are 5x cm long.
The area of the larger square is (5x)² = 25x² cm².
Therefore, the area of the larger square is 25 times the area of the smaller square, so the area of the larger square is 25x² cm².
A student drew 2 squares, one of which has sides 5 times as long as the other if the area of the smaller square is x² cm². What is the areab of the larger circle.
