Question

An equilateral triangle, a square and a circle have equal areas. What is the ratio of the perimeters of the equilateral triangle to square to circle?

Options :

  1. 3√3:2:√π

  2. √(3√3):2:√π

  3. √(3√3):4:2√π

  4. √(3√3):2:2√π

Show Answer

Answer :

√(3√3):2:√π

Solution :

Let the side of an equilateral triangle, side of a square, the radius of a circle be 𝑎,𝑥, and 𝑟 respectively.

Now,  3 4 a 2 = x 2 = π r 2 = k 2 ( let )

Now,

3 4 a 2 = k 2 a 2 = 4 k 2 3 a = 2 k 3

x 2 = k 2 x = k

π r 2 = k 2 r = k π

Now, we can calculate the perimeter of each of that.

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3𝑎

The perimeter of a square = 4𝑥

The perimeter of a circle = 2Πr

The ratio of the perimeters of the equilateral triangle to square to circle = 3a : 4x : 2Πr

= 3 × 2 k 3 : 4 k : 2 π × k π

= 3 3 × 3 3 : 2 : π 2 π

= 3 3 3 : 2 : π

= 3 3 3 × 3 3 : 2 : π

= ( 3 3 ) : 2 : π
