Two similar parallelograms have a side ratio of 5:8. If the area of the larger parallelogram is 126 square
feet, what is the area of the smaller parallelogram?
The side ratio is 5:8, so the ratio of the areas is 25/64 (which is (5/8)^2). We then divide 126 by 62 and multiply it by 25, which gives us approximately 50.8064516129.
