The ratio of the area of a square to that of the square drawn on its diagonal is:

Topic: Geometry &amp; Mensuration
Subtopic: Square &amp; Diagonal

A1 : 2

B1 : 4

C2 : 1

D1 : sqrt(2)

Explanation

Let side of square = a. Area = a^2. Length of diagonal = a*sqrt(2). Area of square on diagonal = (a*sqrt(2))^2 = 2a^2. Ratio = a^2 : 2a^2 = 1 : 2.
