Question

the perimeter of two square are in ratio 8:15 find the ratio between the length of their sides​

Answer 1

Answer:

let x be side of one square and y be side of other square

perimeter P1 : P2 = 8:15

P1 = 4x and P2 = 4y

given 4x : 4y = 8 : 15

4(x : y) = 8 : 15

therefore x : y = 8/4 : 15/4

=> 2 : 3.75

=> 8 : 15
