Answer:

9:25

Explanation:

The sides and perimeters of triagles are linear dimensions. They are measured like line segments. The ratio of the areas of triamgles is the square of the ratio of linear dimensions of the triangle.

ratio of perimeters is 3:5

Square 3 and square 5 to get the ratio of the areas.

3^2 = 9; 5^2 = 25

ratio of area is 9:25
