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.
compound interest equation for annually compounded
A=final amount
P=principal
r=rate in decimal
t=time in years
given that
A=1550
P=1000
r=5.5%=0.055
find t
divide both sides by 1000
take ln of both sides
use ln rule 
divide both sides by ln(1.055)
using a calculator, we get that t=8.18544 yrs
so about 8.2yrs
Answer:
D. larger than volume.
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume is just the space provided within something, while the mass is the weight of the something being evaluated. The bigger the volume, the larger the mass will be.
