Answer:

Ratio = 5/3

The ratio (larger to smaller) of the perimeters is 5/3

Explanation:

Attached is an image of the two triangles.

Since both triangles are similar, the ratio of their perimeter is equal to the ratio of each similar sides.

Ratio = P1/P2 = S1/S2

Similar side for triangle 1 S1 = 15ft

Similar side for triangle 2 S2 = 9ft

Substituting the values;

Ratio = 15ft/9ft = 5/3

Ratio = 5/3

The ratio (larger to smaller) of the perimeters is 5/3
