ABJH, JDEF, ACEG are squares. ![]( $\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AB}}=3 . \frac{\text { Area } \mathrm{BCDJ}}{\text { Area } \mathrm{HJFG}}=$ ?
(a)$\frac{1}{9}$
(b)$\frac{1}{3}$
(c)1
(d)3
Answer
Answer (as printed): C
Explanation
Let $A B=x$. Then $B C=3 x$. $B J=A B=x, H J=A B=x$, $H G=B C=3 x$. $\frac{\text { Area } B C D J}{\text { Area } H J F G}=\frac{B C \times B J}{H G \times H J}=\frac{3 x \times x}{3 x \times x}=1$.
