What is the perimeter of the smaller quadrilateral?

anonymous · Answer

16.. right?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

good, now how many times larger is EF compared to AB?

anonymous · Answer

9 times larger
So would I multiply the perimeter of the smaller quadrilateral by 9?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

yes, 

Perimeter of Larger Quadrilateral = 9*(Perimeter of Smaller Quadrilateral )

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

This is because each side is 9 times larger than its corresponding side
