Question #N376
A square has side length $s$. A rectangle has length $2s$ and width $s$. What is the ratio of the area of the rectangle to the area of the square?
A. $\frac{1}{2}$
B. 1
C. 2
D. 4
Correct Answer is: C
The area of the square is $s^2$. The area of the rectangle is $(2s)(s) = 2s^2$. The ratio of the area of the rectangle to the area of the square is $\frac{2s^2}{s^2} = 2$.
