Question

The perimeters of two squares are in the ratio8:25,find the ratio between the lengths of their sides

Answer 1

ratio = 8:25

perimeter of square = 4(side)

let, side of square first =a
side of square second =A

ratio = perimeter of square first/ perimeter of square second
8/25=4a/ 4A
8/25=a/A (4/4=1 ,by this a/A=8/25)

therefore, ratio of there lenths= 8:25
