area grows as the square of the sides.
So, the areas are in the ratio (2/3)^2 = 4/9
Two regular hexagons have their sides in the ratio 2:3.Find the ratio of the areas of the 1 St & 2nd hexagons?

areas of similar shapes are proportional to the square of their corresponding sides
ratio of their areas is 2^2 : 3^2 = 4 : 9
ratio of their areas is 2^2 : 3^2 = 4 : 9
