The area of triangle B is 25 times greater than the area of triangle A.The perimeter of triangle B is how many times greater than the perimeter of triangle A?
The perimeter of triangle B is 5 times greater than that of A. The ratio of areas in this example is 1:25. The ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of perimeters. [tex] \sqrt1 : \sqrt{25} =1 : 5[/tex]
The ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of perimeters; The area of triangle B / The area of triangle A = 25 ; The perimeter of triangle B / The perimeter of triangle A = [tex] \sqrt{25} = 5 ;[/tex] The perimeter of triangle B is 5many times greater than the perimeter oftriangle A!
