the perimeter of triangle B is 6 times greater than the perimeter pf triangle 6. the area of triangle B is how many times greater than the area of triangle A?
here is a similar problem:

so 36 is coming to mind here...
To find the relationship between the areas of triangle B and triangle A, we need to consider their perimeters first.
Let's assume the perimeter of triangle A is P, and the perimeter of triangle B is 6P (since it is given that the perimeter of triangle B is 6 times greater than the perimeter of triangle A).
Now, the area of a triangle is determined by its base and height. Since we do not have specific values for the base and height, we can't calculate the areas directly. However, we can generalize the relationship between the areas based on the perimeters.
The formula for the perimeter of a triangle is P = a + b + c, where a, b, and c are the lengths of its sides.
In triangle A, let's assume the lengths of its sides are a1, b1, and c1. Therefore, we can write the equation for the perimeter of triangle A as P = a1 + b1 + c1.
In triangle B, since the perimeter is 6 times greater, we can write the equation: 6P = 6(a1 + b1 + c1).
Now, for the area of a triangle, we use the formula A = (1/2) * base * height.
Since the base and height values are not given, let's assume the base of triangle A is b1 and its height is h1. Therefore, the area of triangle A can be written as A = (1/2) * b1 * h1.
Using the same logic, let's assume the base and height of triangle B are b2 and h2, respectively. The area of triangle B can be written as A = (1/2) * b2 * h2.
Now, to find the relationship between the areas, we consider the fact that the perimeter of triangle B is 6 times greater than the perimeter of triangle A.
Dividing the equation 6P = 6(a1 + b1 + c1) by 6, we get P = a1 + b1 + c1.
Both equations for the perimeters are the same, so we can conclude that triangle A and B have the same perimeter.
Since the perimeter is the same, the relationship between the areas of the two triangles cannot be determined without knowing additional information about the base and height values.
Hence, we do not have enough information to determine how many times greater the area of triangle B is than the area of triangle A.
