The perimeter of a triangle and an equilateral triangle are same. Also, one of the sides of the rectangle is equal to the side of the triangle. The ratio of the areas of the rectangle and the triangle is
Given that the perimeters of rectangle and triangle are equal
Let the length and breadth of rectangle be 'l' and 'b' respectively
Let the side of triangle be 'a'
$$\Rightarrow$$ 2(l+b)=3a
Given that one side of rectangle of rectangle = side of triangle
Let l=a
$$\Rightarrow$$ 2(a+b)=3a
$$\Rightarrow$$ 2a+2b=3a
$$\Rightarrow$$ a=2b
 Area of rectangle : Area of triangle = ab : $$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^{2}$$
Substituting a=2b in above equation
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$2b^{2} : \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times4b^{2}$$
$$\Rightarrow 2:\sqrt{3}$$
