For example, let us say we have a five-sided polygon of sides: x1, x2, x3, x4, x5 The perimeter is: (x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5) The similar polygon will have proportional sides. their sides will be: kx1, kx2, kx3, kx4, kx5 The perimeter is: (kx1 + kx2 + kx3 + kx4 + kx5) = k(x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5) So the perimeter and the sides are the in the same ratio. 6:1

so the answer would be 6:1

OpenStudy (ranga):

Yes.
