Exercise 3 Page 85

The ratio of the perimeters is the same as the ratio between corresponding side lengths.

9/7

Practice makes perfect
Let's start by considering the given similar figures.
similar figures

In the given similar figures, the lengths of two corresponding sides are 9 and 7. Therefore, we can say that the ratio between the corresponding side lengths is 9 7. In similar figures, the ratio of the perimeters is the same as the ratio between the corresponding side lengths.

Ratio of Corresponding Side Lengths 9/7
Ratio of Perimeters 9/7
