Let the 2 similar△les be△ABC&△PQR.
When △les are similar,
1.The corresponding angles are equal.
2.Their corresponding sides are proportional.
hence in △ABC&△PQR
AB/PQ=BC/QR=AC/PR
The perimeter of △ABC,
=AB+BC+AC−(i)
The perimeter of △PQR,
=PQ+QR+PR−(ii)
∴AB/PQ=BC/QR=AC/PR=AB+BC+AC/PQ+QR+PR
= Perimeter of △ABC/Perimeter of △PQR
