Respuesta :

We have the following:

For ABCD:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 28=2\cdot l+2\cdot w=2\cdot6.5+2\cdot7.5=28 \\ a=l\cdot w=6.5\cdot7.5=48.75 \end{gathered}[/tex]

42/28 = 1.5

For QRST:

[tex]\begin{gathered} L=1.5\cdot l=1.5\cdot6.5=9.75 \\ W=1.5\cdot w=1.5\cdot7.5=11.25 \\ A=9.75\cdot11.25=109.6875 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The rario of the area is:

[tex]\frac{a}{A}=\frac{48.75}{109.6875}=\frac{4\cdot12.1875}{9\cdot12.1875}=\frac{4}{9}[/tex]

Therefore, the rario is B. 4:9
