    Question

    If the ratio of the areas of two squares is 169 : 196, then the ratio of their perimeters is:

    A.

    13 : 14

    B.

    14 : 13

    C.

    196 : 169

    D.

    169 : 196

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    Ratio of the areas of two squares = 169 : 196

    Formula Used:

    The area of a square is given by A = side  

    Perimeter of square = 4×\timesside​

    Solution: 

    Ratios of Area's 

    s12s22\frac{{s}^2_1}{{s}^2_2} = 169196\frac{{169}}{{196}} 

    s1s2\frac{{s}_1}{{s}_2} = 169196\frac{\sqrt{169}}{\sqrt{196}} 

    s1s2\frac{{s}_1}{{s}_2} = 1314\frac{13}{14}  

    Now; we know

    Ratio perimeter of square = 4×s14×s2=s1s2\frac{4 \times s_1}{4 \times s_2} = \frac{s_1}{s_2}  

    Thus, 

    ​The ratio of their perimeters is 13 : 14
