- Let side of first equilateral triangle be a
Perimeter , P1= 3a
height of equilateral triangle = h= a*(sqrt3)/2
h= r , where r is radius of circle
each side of isosceles triangle inscribed in this circle has side = sqrt3*r
Perimeter, P2 = 3* sqrt3 *r= (3*sqrt3* a * sqrt 3 ) / 2 = 9a
Ratio P1: P2 = 2/3 :)
