Answer :

Answer:

1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, the base and height of a right angle triangle is 12 and 5.

The hypotenuse can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem such that,

[tex]BC=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}\\\\BC=h=13[/tex]

When sides are doubled,

Base = 24

Height = 10

Hypotenuse = 26

Perimeter of the triangle = 24+10+26 = 60

The area of riangle,

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 24\times 10=120[/tex]

Required ration,

[tex]\dfrac{P}{A}=\dfrac{60}{120}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
