Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 122.5
======================================================
Explanation:
First thing to do is to find the perimeter of figure B. Add up all the sides and we get: 5+9+9+12 = 14+21 = 35.
The scale factor 7:2 means that if the perimeter of figure A was 7, then the perimeter of figure B would be 2. Or it could be 14 for A and 4 for B. And so on. The idea is that the two perimeters scale up or down together. This allows us to set up the proportion below in which we can solve for x
(perimeter of A)/(perimeter of B) = 7/2
x/35 = 7/2
x*2 = 35*7 .... cross multiply
2x = 245
2x/2 = 245/2 .... divide both sides by 2
x = 122.5
The perimeter of figure A is 122.5
13/35 because you have to find the common denominator which would be 35 and in order to get 7 to 35 you have to multiply the whole thing by 5 making the fraction equal 15/35 and you have to multiply the other fraction by 7 making it 7/35 add the two together which would equal 22/35 so to make that 35/35 it would have to be 13/35
