If each side of triangle is E and that of square if F, then since their perimeter is equal hence, 3E=4F.
This implies E=4/3F.
Now the diagonal of square would be sqrt(2)*F and the height of triangle would be sqrt(3)/2*F
Thus, the ratio would be (sqrt(3)/2*E)/sqrt(2)*F.
Substitute E in terms of F.
Upon solving, this comes out to be sqrt(2)/sqrt(3).
