Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In similar triangles, if the ratio of the sides is 1:5, what is the ratio of their perimeters?
  • Step 1: Understand that similar triangles have the same shape but different sizes.
  • Step 2: Know that the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides of similar triangles is given as 1:5.
  • Step 3: Remember that the perimeter of a triangle is the total length around it, which is the sum of all its sides.
  • Step 4: Realize that the ratio of the perimeters of similar triangles is the same as the ratio of their corresponding sides.
  • Step 5: Since the ratio of the sides is 1:5, the ratio of the perimeters will also be 1:5.
