Question

The perimeter of to similar polygon is 20 and 28. On side of the smaller polygon is 4. Find the corresponding side of the larger polygon

Answer 1

Hey there! :D

Use proportions to figure out the similarity and the missing side.

The smaller polygon has a side of 4.


`(4)/(20) = (x)/(28)`


`20*x= 4*28`


`20x=112`


`x= 5.6`

The corresponding side of the larger polygon is 5.6.

I hope this helps!
