Answer:

65 dm and 52 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

If the scale factor of the sides is k, then the scale factor of the areas is k^2.

The scale factor of the areas is (32 dm^2)/(50 dm^2) = 0.64 = k^2

The scale factor of the sides is k = \sqrt(0.64) = 0.8

The perimeters are in a ratio of 1:0.8

x + 0.8x = 117

1.8x = 117

x = 65

0.8x = 0.8(65) = 52

The perimeters are 65 dm and 52 dm.
