What is the relationship between perimeters and areas of similar figures?

Whatever the ratio of perimeters of the similar figures, the areas will be in the ratios squared. Examples: * if the figures have perimeters in a ratio of 1:2, their areas will have a ratio of 1²:2² = 1:4. * If the figures have perimeters in a ratio of 2:3, their areas will have a ratio of 2²:3² = 4:9.

Is it true that the greater the perimeter the greater the area?

No, in general that is not true. For two similar figures it is true. But you can easily design two different figures that have the same perimeters and different areas, or the same area and different perimeters. For example, two rectangles with a different length-to-width ratio.

What is the similarity ratio of the perimeters of 25ft and 20ft?

The ratio of 25-ft to 20-ft is 5/4 or 1.25 .But ... knowing the perimeters alone is not enough informationto guarantee that the two figures are similar.-- They could be two rectangles, one measuring 25-ft by 1-ft, the other measuring 4-ft by 5-ft.Those are not similar rectangles.-- They could even be one rectangle and one triangle ... definitely not similar.
