Question

The pair of figures to the right are similar. What is the ratio of the perimeters and the ratio of

the areas?
24 in
20 in
The ratio of the perimeters is (Simplify your answer.)

Answer 1

here's your solution

=> both figure is similar and they are square

=> perimeter of square = 4*side

=> perimeter of. small square = 4*20 = 80in

=> perimeter of larger square = 4*24 = 96

=> now ratio of perimeter = 80/96

=>. 5/6

=> area of square = side*side

=> area of small square = 20*20 = 400in.sq

=> area of larger square= 24*24 = 576in.sq

=> now ratio of area. = 400/576

=> 25/36

hope it helps
