No they wouldn't be the same because, the perimeter is adding all sides.

The square has 4 sides so you would add 9, four times.

9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 36

And a pentagon has 5 sides so you would add 9, five times.

9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 45

So, they are not the same.

Hope this helps. :)

$\frac{1}{11}+\frac{1}{15}=\frac{1\cdot15}{11\cdot15}+\frac{1\cdot11}{15\cdot11}=\frac{15}{165}+\frac{11}{165}=\frac{15+11}{165}=\frac{26}{165} < \frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{1}{11}+\frac{1}{15}\approx0$
