the figures below are similar what are a) the ratio of the perimeters and b) the ratio of the areas of the larger figure to the smaller figure the figures are not drawn to scale 26 yes and 6yd
a) The ratio of the perimeters of two similar figures is equal to the ratio of their corresponding sides.
In this case, the ratio of the perimeters is 26/6 = 13/3.
b) The ratio of the areas of two similar figures is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
In this case, the ratio of the areas is (26/6)^2 = (13/3)^2 = 169/9.
