if the length of the side of a square is doubled , what is the ratio of the areas of the original square to the area of the new square ?
solution if x be the side of the original square , then its area is equal to x 2 if x is doubled to 2 x , then the new area is equal to ( 2 x ) 2 = 4 x 2 the ratio of the areas of the original square to the area of the new square x 2 / ( 4 x 2 ) = 1 / 4 or 1 : 4 answer is a
divide(multiply(const_1, const_1), power(multiply(const_2, const_1), const_2))
