In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

similar triangles:

side ratio = 7:5

ratio perimeter = ?

Step 02:

Similar triangles:

Triangle 1:

perimeter T1 = s1 + s2 + s3

Triangle 2:

perimeter T2 = s1 + s2 + s3

7:5 ratio

7 * perimeter T1 = 5 * perimeter T2

The answer is:

In two similar triangles: the perimeters of the two triangles are in the same ratio as the sides.

7 : 5
