Answer:

The answer is \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the answer we have to know about similar polygons.

Any two polygons are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the measures of their corresponding sides are proportional.

So, if two sides are proportional, where "a" is the lenght of the first polygon and "b" is the lenght of the second polygon, the ratio of these sides is:

\frac{a}{b}=k

k is a rational number.

Applying the proportionality:

First polygon: its sides:

3

4

5

6

Second polygon: its sides:

9

x

y

z

These polygons are similar, so

\frac{9}{3}=k\\ k=3

So, "x","y" and "z" values are:

\frac{x}{4} =k=3\\x=4*3\\x=12\\\\\frac{y}{5}=k=3\\y=5*3\\y=15\\\\\frac{z}{6}=k=3\\z=6*3\\z=18

Finally, the perimeter is the sum of the sides of the polygon, so the ratio of their perimeters is:

P1=Perimeter first polygon

P2=Perimeter second polygon

r=Ratio of their perimeters

P1=3+4+5+6=18\\P2=9+12+15+18=54\\\\r=\frac{P1}{P2}=\frac{18}{54}=\frac{1}{3}

The given polygon has a perimeter of 3 + 5 + 4 + 6 = 18
A similar polygon has sides that are 3 times as big ot 9 + 15 + 12 + 18 = 54

The ratio is 18/54 or 1/3

LETS prove the 2nd part of the Question

Here concept of right angles is used

We can see BA is perp to BD

and BC is perp to BE

We have to prove angle 1 = angle 3

i will denote angle by a

therefore we need to prove a1 = a3

as BA is perp to BD hence angle between them will be 90 degree

a1 + a2 = 90 degree

Similarly BC is perp to BE

a2 + a3 = 90 degree

as both equations add up gives 90 degree so will equate them

a1 + a2 = a2 + a3

which means a1 = a3

Hence Proved
