Question

These parallelograms are similar. Compare the first to the second and give the ratio of their parameters. Write the ratio in simplest terms.
Answer options, 8:6, 16:9, 64:36, 4:3

Answer 1

Answer: The last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. By definition the ratio of the perimeter is the same as the scale factor.

2. Keeping this on mind, you can calculate the scale factor as shown below:

$sf=\frac{8}{6}\\sf=\frac{4}{3}$

3. You can rewrite it as following:

4:3

4. Therefore, the ratio of the perimeter is 4:3
