If the ratio of the sides of two squares is 3: 1, what is the ratio of their perimeters?

Ratio of the perimeters =3:1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that : Ratio of the sides of two squares is 3:1

To find : Ratio of their perimeters

Solution : Let the length of the sides are 3:1 = 3x : x

                  Formula of perimeter of square = 4(side)

Using the formula ,

Perimeter of 1 square = 4×3x= 12x

Perimeter of 2 square = 4×x= 4x

Ratio of the perimeter of 1 square and 2 square = 12x : 4x

                                                                                 = 3 : 1
