A flat square picture represented by the unshaded region in the figure above is mounted in a flat square frame, represented by the shaded region, which has uniform width on all sides. What is the ratio of area of frame to the area of picture?

\(\frac{Area of the frame }{ area of the picture} = \frac{Area of the shaded part}{area of the UNshaded part }= \frac{Area of the square ABCD - Area of the square PQRS}{Area of the square PQRS}\)
Area of the square = \(\frac{1}{2} \times diagonal^2\)
and
Area of the square = \(side ^2\)
Area of square \(ABCD = x^2\)
Area of square \(PQRS = \frac{1}{2}x^2\)
\(\frac{Area of the frame}{area of the picture}\) \(= \dfrac{x^2-\frac{1}{2}x^2}{\frac{1}{2}x^2}=\frac{1}{1}\)

When they have asked about the ratio of the areas, aren't we supposed to find the simple ratio? x^2/X^2/2 = 2:1? why do we subtract and then find the ratio? please clarify. Carcass
