A similar triangle has the same ratio on every side, so that means the perimeter has the same ratio as well. 
Set up the proportion: 2/5 = 20/x
multiply the means and extremes to get
2x = 100
divide both sides by 2
x = 50
The perimeter of the larger polygon is 50
Hope this helped =)

Answer:

The perimeter of the larger polygon is 20 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

The ratio of the perimeters of two similar polygons is equal to the ratio of the corresponding sides of the polygons.

Here, the ratio of the corresponding sides of smaller and larger polygon is 2 : 5,

Also, given,

Perimeter of shorter polygon is 20 units,

Let x be the perimeter of the larger polygon,

By the above property,

\implies \frac{2}{5}=\frac{20}{x}

\implies 2x = 100 ( By cross multiplication )

\implies x = 50

Hence, the perimeter of the larger polygon is 20 units.

7 times as much as the sum of 1/3 and 4/5
Jet001 [13]
First of all, you add 1/3 and 4/5, so you get:
\frac{1}{3} +  \frac{4}{5}

To add 2 fractions, they need to have the same denominator. Since 3 and 5 don't have a common factor, so you multiply 1/3 by 5, and 4/5 by 3, so you get:
\frac{1*5}{3*5} +  \frac{4*3}{5*3}
\frac{5}{15} +  \frac{12}{15}

Now, the two fractions got the same denominator, and you can add them by adding the numerators over the same denominator. (You don't add denominators in addition) so you get:
\frac{5+12}{15}
\frac{17}{15}

That's the sum of 1/3 + 4/5.

Now, they want the sum of the 2 fractions 7 times. So you multiply 17/15 by 7. And as you know, 7 = 7/1. So you get:
\frac{17}{15} *  \frac{7}{1}

In multiplication no need to have the same denominator. You multiply nominators by nominators and denominators by denominators. So you get:
\frac{17*7}{15*1}
\frac{119}{15}

Since 119 and 15 don't have a common factor, so they can't be simplified.
So, the answer is 119/15. 

Hope this Helps! :D
