When you compare the ratios of the perimeters of these similar triangles, you also get 2 : 1. This leads to the following theorem. Theorem 60: If two similar triangles have a scale factor of a : b, then the ratio of their perimeters is a : b. Figure 2 Perimeter of similar triangles.

not sure what the question has to do with perimeters, but the scale factor applies to all linear dimensions. So the altitudes are also in the ratio 5:4

Since its given that the scale factor is 5:4 of similar triangles then the ratio of corresponding altitudes will also be 5:4. As when two triangles are similar their corresponding side, perimeter,altitudes have same ratio...
