Question

the figures below are similar. the labeled sides are corresponding.
4 yd
5 yd
p₁ = 20 yd
p₂ = ?
what is the perimeter of the larger pentagon?
p₂ = yards
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Find similarity ratio

$\text{Ratio} = \frac{5}{4}$

Step2: Relate perimeters to ratio

$P_2 = P_1 \times \text{Ratio}$

Step3: Calculate perimeter $P_2$

$P_2 = 20 \times \frac{5}{4}$

Answer:

25 yards
