Question

What is the perimeter of the smaller figure and what are the solving steps.

Answer 1

Step 1

Given;

`\begin{gathered} Two\text{ parrallelograms have ratio }(6)/(5) \\ The\text{ perimeter of the larger figue is 72 units} \end{gathered}`

Required; To find the perimeter of the smaller figure,

Step 2

We will use the ratio below;

`(6)/(5)=\frac{72}{Perimeter\text{ of small figure}}`
`\begin{gathered} 6(perimeter\text{ of small figure\rparen=72\lparen5\rparen} \\ Perimeter\text{ of small figure=}(72(5))/(6) \\ Perimeter\text{ of small figure=60units} \end{gathered}`

Answer;

`Perimeter\text{ of small figure=60unit}^s`
