Question

if the ratio of similarity of the figures above is 2/3, then what is the ratio of the perimeters of the two figures?

Answer 1

Perimeter = side 1 + side 2 ´+ side 3.

Triangle 1

Perimeter = 6 + 8 + 10

= 24

Triangle 2

Perimeter = 9 + 12 + 15

= 36

Ratio

24/36 = 2/3

The ratio of the perimeters is also 2/3
