Question

If the ratio of corresponding sides of two similar triangles is \( 5:6 \), then the ratio of their perimeters is:

• A. \( 25:36 \)
• B. \( 5:6 \)
• C. \( 36:25 \)
• D. \( 15:16 \)

Hint:

In similar triangles, the ratio of corresponding sides, perimeters, and altitudes remains the same, but the ratio of areas is the square of the side ratio.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

For similar triangles, the ratio of corresponding sides, perimeters, and altitudes are the same. Since the given ratio of sides is:
\[ 5:6 \] The ratio of perimeters is also:
\[ 5:6 \]
