Question

Two figures are similar. If the ratio of their perimeters is 8:16. What will be the ratio of the corresponding sides?

Answer 1

We know that,
for two similar triangles, ratio of the corresponding sides is equal to ratio of the perimeters of the triangles.

⇒ Ratio of the corresponding sides = `(8)/(16) = (1)/(2)`

that is, ratio of the corresponding sides is 1: 2.
