If you study them correctly, you'll learn how to defend against just about everything.
Petrosian didn't "win" as high a percentage of his games as a lot of the other world champions, but he was known as a player that was almost impossible to beat. His defensive ability was off the charts. Percentage-wise, he was one of the very toughest players of all time to beat (a very low percentage of his games were lost). Lot of draws there.

It depends how you study and why.
There are many good books if you wish to study chess - and this may not be teh best way.
Generally, openings are the most "learnable" things by studing the games of a master, but if you know his openings, and those of his opponents, then you can go beyond learning his openings.
To learn from a master's mid game play you must already be a strong player - so you can understand something of WHY he made each move - you must see the same possibilities several moves ahead that the players saw.
The end game is more predictable from the position - computers play end-games well, - as do Grand Masters, but there is little to be learned in this area from their games, compared with learning from books.

He won the Soviet Championship four times.
he was a man before his time some would say he played the full game in his head before he made a move after each move you made before taking his move.
he got into the world championship 10 times
and by modern day standards some would say he was the best player in the world.
a lot could be learnt from studying his strategy's
A GAME OF THE MIND CHESS
good luck

Petrosian isn't really one of my favorites. I find him a little dull. He was known as a defensive player. His style of play was strategic, notable for anticipating opponent's possible attacks. He based many of his games on avoidance of error, while accumulating small advantages.

Remember that cress is a great game to teach strategy and forward thinking. My 10 year old son not only plays the game but he is pretty good. He also enjoys collecting different types of sets.
Have fun and remember cress is a game.

The former world champion and former street sweeper was a good defensive player. Fisher clobbered him on the way to his world championship.

Petrosian's games will teach you what to do when there is nothing to do.
But I would recommend studying Capablanca's games. That's what Petrosian did.
