To find the ratio of the areas of the two figures, take the square root of the ratio of the areas of the two figures.
35/25 = 1.4
Square root of 1.4 is approximately 1.1832.
So, the ratio of the areas of the two figures is 1:1.1832.
Since the area of the first figure is 35ft, the area of the second figure is:
35ft * 1.1832 ≈ 41.42ft
Therefore, the area of the second figure to the nearest whole number is approximately 41ft.
The pair of figures to the right are similar. The area of one figure is given. Find the area of the other figure to the nearest whole number.
