D=36/121

you think about it, it makes sense why area would be the scale factor squared. Area involves two dimensions multiplied together. With scale factor, all you're really doing is multiplying the scale factor times itself.

The answer is D. because they are both the same ratio by squared-
6 squared is 36 and 11 squared is 121
So it's 6:11::36:121
