In the figure, the area of the square of the square PQRS is 100cm2. If the ratio of the area of the square TUYS to the area of the area of the square XQVU is 1 : 16, Find YR
6cm
7cm
8cm
9cm

Explicação

Since area of square PQRS = 100cm2

each lenght = 10cm

Also TUYS : XQVU = 1 : 16

lengths are in ratio 1 : 4, hence TU : UV = 1: 4

Let TU = x

UV = 1: 4

hence TV = x + 4x = 5x = 10cm

x = 2cm

TU = 2cm

UV = 8cm

But TU = SY and UV = YR

YR = 8cm
