Question

the figures below are similar. the labeled sides are corresponding.
what is the ratio of the perimeter of the larger square to the perimeter of the smaller square?
write your answer as the ratio of two whole numbers separated by a colon (for example, 2:3).

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate larger square perimeter

Perimeter = $4 \times 5 = 20$ m

Step2: Calculate smaller square perimeter

Perimeter = $4 \times 1 = 4$ m

Step3: Find ratio of perimeters

Ratio = $\frac{20}{4} = 5:1$

Answer:

5:1
