Polygon r and polygon s are similar. the perimeter of polygon r is 136 cm, and the perimeter of polygon s is 64 cm. if one side of polygon s is 8 cm, what is the length of the corresponding side in polygon r ? a. 17 cm b. 8 cm c. 16 cm d. 289 cm

Answer

Option A) 17cm

Explanation

Polygon R and polygon S are similar. This means the polygon R and S have equal number of sides.

Step 1 : Find the number of sides of polygon S

The perimeter of polygon S is 64 cm. If one side of polygon S is 8 cm

Therefore, Number of sides of polygon S = 64/8 = 8 sides

and number of sides of polygon R = 8 side

Step 2 : Find the number of sides of polygon R

The perimeter of polygon R is 136 cm,  

Number of sides of polygon R = 136/8 = 17 cm

Therefore side length of  polygon R = 17 cm
