Answer: 3 : 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of square = 12( area of rectangle)
Area of square = l^2 where l is length
Area of rectangle = lb, where b is breadth
l = 3b
A of rectangle = lb = 3b^2
A of square = 12(3b^2) = 36b^2
l of square = sq. root (36b^2)
= 6b
P of rectangle = 2(l + b)
= 2(3b + b)
=8b
P of square = 4l
= 4 x 6b
= 24b
Ratio = 24 : 8
= 3 : 1
