I don't see a drawing of the quadrilaterals, so I don't know what the perimeter of quadrilateral P is. But whatever the perimeter of P is, Q will be 1/3 of that. Perimeter is a length, so even though it may pertain to a 2-dimensional object, it is still a 1-dimensional, linear measure. When two objects are similar (same shape, but scaled up or down by a scale factor), all corresponding linear measures have the same scale factor.
If you were asked about area or volume, that would be a different matter. In the case of area, you would square the scale factor, and in the case of volume, you would cube the scale factor.
Answer:
10×4 = 40
10^4 = 10,000
Step-by-step explanation:
10^4 is another way to write 10⁴ = 10·10·10·10 = 10,000.
Essentially, the exponent tells you how many places to the right of the leading digit the decimal point lies (here, the number of zeros in the number).

<em>Comment on the answer choice</em>
The appropriate answer depends on what you mean by your problem statement. Some microscopes magnify 40 times; others magnify 10,000 times, so we cannot tell the appropriate answer using our knowledge of microscopes.
Answer:
3,000 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
recall that 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters
hence
3 kilometers = 1,000 meters x 3 = 3,000 meters
