how does the common ratio and ratio of the perimeters of FDE to CAB compare

Answer
The common ratio and the ratio of the perimeters of the two triangles are exactly the same (2/3).
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)
