Question

What is the perimeter ratio if the similarity ratio is 2:3 I would really appreciate help...

Answer 1

easy. the ratio of perimeter still 2:3 too

except, the question asking ratio of area. it is 2^2 : 3^2 = 4 : 9

Answer 2

Great thank you. What is the similarity ratio if the perimeter ratio is 12:96?

Answer 3

like i said before, similarity ratio = perimeter ratio
so, still 12 : 96

Answer 4

or simplied be 1 : 8

Answer 5

So the. If the area ratio is 256:784, then the perimeter and similarity ratio are both 16:28?

Answer 6

yes, that's right !

Answer 7

Great. One more question: Two similar rhombus have areas of 125 and 245 . The perimeter of the smaller rhombus is 85. What is the perimeter of the larger rhombus? What is one side of the larger rhombus?

Answer 8

Please help. That was the final question....

Answer 9

retriceumed the perimeter of the larger is x. take the ratio :

(perimeter smaller/perimeter larger)^2 = 125/245
(85/x)^2 = 125/245
(85/x)^2 = 25/49
take the square root on the right side, get
85/x = sqrt(25/49)
85/x = sqrt(25)/sqrt(49)
85/x = 5/7
cross multiplying, get
5x = 7 * 85
5x = 595
x = 595/5
x = 119

so, the perimeter of the larger that rhombus is 119

Answer 10

opss, the 1st should *assumed

Answer 11

What does that mean? And what is the side of the larger rhombus?

Answer 12

So the large perimeter is 119?

Answer 13

yes and then to get the side of the larger is just divided by 4 because all side of a rhombus is same. what is 119/4 ?

Answer 14

29.75... Great thank you so much.merry late Christmas

Answer 15

that's correct!
