Question

ABCDE and FGHJE are similar pentagons. If the perimeter of FGHJE is 7.3, what is the perimeter of ABCDE?


14
14.6
15
14.5

Answer 1

similar pentagons means that one pentagon is a "multiple" of the other... in other words, you can multiply the perimeter of one by some number, and get the perimeter of the other

Answer 2

so is B or D

Answer 3

You need more info to answer the question. For example, do they show the length of a side ?

Answer 4

I assume ABCDE is bigger than the other one, but how much bigger ?

Answer 5

A to be = 3.5 and F to G= 1.75

Answer 6

to do this problem, you need to find the number that when you multiply it times 1.75 you get 3.5

any idea how to find that number ?

Answer 7

no

Answer 8

think like this some number (call it "k") times 1.75 is 3.5
we write

1.75 k = 3.5

this is the same kind of problem as
2*k = 4
what is k? we find it by dividing 4 by 2
k = 4/2

for your problem, do the same thing
k = 3.5/1.75

Answer 9

can you find the number ?

Answer 10

you could use google, type
3.5/1.75=
into google

Answer 11

is 2

Answer 12

that means the bigger pentagon is 2 times bigger than the smaller one.

Specifically, it means its perimeter is 2 times bigger than the perimeter of the smaller pentagon

Answer 13

oh okay. I guess i try to see and THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Answer 14

to get the answer you do
2*7.3

you can use google (but you should be able to do that multiply in your head)

Answer 15

IS 14.6 IS B I ALREADY FOUND IT THANK U SO MUCH.....
