Question 55
The ratio of the areas of two squares is 16 : 1. Find the ratio between their perimeters.
Solution
Let the length of side of two squares be $$a$$, $$b$$ respectively
Given, ratio of areas of two squares = 16:1
$$=$$> $$\frac{a^2}{b^2}=\frac{16}{1}$$
$$=$$> $$\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^2=\frac{16}{1}$$
$$=$$> $$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{4}{1}$$
$$=$$> $$\frac{4a}{4b}=\frac{4}{1}$$
$$\therefore\ $$Ratio of their perimeters = 4:1
Hence, the correct answer is Option A
