How do scale factor and ratio of perimeters compare?
The sacle factor between two shapes is the same as the ratio of their perimeters.
What is the solution in finding the ratio of similitude for similar triangles?
I am not sure what this is?
What is the ratio 15ft to 9ft of the perimeters?
5:3
An equilateral triangle and a square have equal perimeters what is the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the square?
If an equilateral triangle and a square have equal perimeters, then the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the square is 1:3.
What are two different size squares that the ratio of their perimeters is the same as the ratio of their areas?
Assume square A with side a; square B with side b. Perimeter of A is 4a; area of A is a2. Perimeter of B is 4b; area of B is b2. Given the ratio of the perimeters equals the ratio of the areas, then 4a/4b = a2/b2; a/b = a2/b2 By cross-multiplication we get: ab2 = a2b Dividing both sides by ab we get: b = a This tells us that squares whose ratio of their perimeters equals the ratio of their areas have equal-length sides. (Side a of Square A = side b of Square B.) This appears to show, if not prove, that there are not two different-size squares meeting the condition.
