Question

find the ratio of the primeter to the area of the square

Answer 1

Given data:

The given figure of square.

The perimeter of the square is,

$P=4(x+3)$

The area of the square is,

$A=(x+3)\times(x+3)$

The ratio of the perimeter to the area of the given square is,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{P}{A}=\frac{4(x+3)}{(x+3)(x+3)} \\ =\frac{4}{x+3} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the ratio of the perimeter to the area of the given square is 4/(x+3).
