If the ratio of the sides of two squares is 3:1, what is the ratio of their perimeters?
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:Ratio of the perimeters =3:1Step-by-step explanation: We have given that : Ratio of the sides of two squares is 3:1To find : Ratio of their perimeters Solution : Let the length of the sides are 3:1 = 3x : x Formula of perimeter of square = 4(side) Using the formula , Perimeter of 1 square = 4×3x= 12xPerimeter of 2 square = 4×x= 4xRatio of the perimeter of 1 square and 2 square = 12x : 4x = 3 : 1
