Question

One polygon has a side of length 3 feet.A similar polygon has a corresponding side of length 9 feet.the ratio of the perimeter of the smaller polygon to the larger is

Answer 1

The ratio of the smaller to the larger is 3:9. That can also be written as a fraction,
`(3)/(9)`, which of course can be reduced to
`(1)/(3)` or 1:3. That's your ratio.
