The perimeter of triangle B is 5 times greater than that of A.
The ratio of areas in this example is 1:25.
The ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of perimeters.

\sqrt1 : √(25) =1 : 5

The ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of perimeters;
The area of triangle B / The area of triangle A = 25 ;
The perimeter of triangle B / The perimeter of triangle A =
√(25) = 5 ;
The perimeter of triangle B is 5many times greater than the perimeter oftriangle A!
