The figures below are similar. Compare the smaller figure to the larger. Which of the following is the ratio of the perimeters of the figures?

Answer: first option
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can see in the figures shown in the image attached, the lenght of a side of the smaller figure is 2 inches and the the lenght of a side of the larger figure is 4 inches.
Therefore, you can find the ratio as following:
[tex]ratio=\frac{2in}{4in}[/tex]
Now, you must reduce the fraction. Therefore, you obtained that the ratio of the perimeters of the figures is:
[tex]ratio=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Which can be written in the following form:
[tex]ratio=1:2[/tex]
Then, the answer is the first option.
