Since the ratio of the areas is 9:1, it means that the ratio of linear dimensions is 3:1,  where 3 = .


So, the perimeter of the larger square is 3 times the perimeter of the smaller square,

and the sum of the perimeters is 200 units.



Hence, the perimeter of the smaller square is 50 units, while the perimeter of the larger square is 150 inits.    ANSWER

Solved.
