Answer
The common ratio and the ratio of the perimeters of the two triangles are exactly the same (2/3).
Step-by-step explanation
The common ratio is obtained by expressing corresponding sides as a fraction of each other.
The common ratio for this triangles = (8/12) = (6/9) = (12/18) = (2/3)
Perimeter is expressed as the sum of all the exterior dimensions of a figure.
For the first figure, Perimeter = 8 + 6 + 12 = 26 inches
For the second figure, Perimeter = 12 + 9 + 18 = 39 inches
Ratio of perimeters = (26/39) = (2/3)
