Question

The sides of two squares are in ratio 2 : 3 . What will be the ratio of their perimeter ?

Answer 1

Let the side of the square be 2x and 3x respectively.

Perimeter

Perimeter of the square side 2x= 4*2x = 8x Perimeter of square side 3x = 4*3x= 12x

Area

Area of square side 2x= (2x)^2 = 4x^2.. Area of square of side 3x= (3x)^2 = 9x^2.. Therefore the ratio of perimeter of both the squares is = 8/12 = 2/3 = 2:3

Hope this helped!!!
