Question

Polygon a is similar to polygon b. the sides of polygon a are three times larger than the corresponding sides of polygon b. the perimeter of polygon a is 144. what is the perimeter of polygon b

Answer 1

Since the sides of polygon a are three times larger than the corresponding sides of polygon b, we can just divide 144 by three to figure out the perimeter of polygon b, because it isn't the area.

Answer 2

144/3 = 48

the perimeter of polygon b is 48
