The perimeter of square a is 3 times the perimeter of square b. what is the ratio of the area of square a to the area of square b.
The perimeter of square a is 3 times the perimeter of square b. what is the ratio of the area of square a to the area of square b.
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter of square A = 3 x perimeter of square B
pA = 3pB
4 l(A) = 3 x 4 l(B)
l(A) = 3 l(B)
area of square A = lA² = {3 l(B)}² = 9 lB²
area of square B = lB²
area of square A / area of square B = 9 lB² / lB² = 9
9:1
The ratio is when two things are being compared in their simplest form. in this case its the perimeter so its 3:1
A= 3B
A/B= (3s)²/s²= 9/1
Area= s² where s is the side.
the ratio of the area of A to B is 9/1
Since the ratio of square a is three items the perimeter of square b, the ratio of a to b would be
X:3X
The ratio of the area of Square A to the area of Square B is 9:1
