GRE Math Problem 53




Column A Column B
a + b c + d


Solution for GRE Math Problem 52:
In order to solve this, we should know about similarity of geometry figures. If the dimensions of the rug are in the same ratio as those of the floor, they are called similar rectangles. And the areas of similar figures are in the same ratio as the squares of their linear measures. => The linear measures of similar figures are in the same ratio as the square roots of theis areas. Here we have, that the area of the rug is twice smaller, that the floor, then, its length will be √2 times smaller, than the length of the floor. This gives us
