Similar just means that the two figures have the same ratio, so the first thing we are going to look for is the ratio.
We take a side from both figures that are congruent and make it into a fraction.
Side AE= 12
Side IJ = 4
Ratio = 12/4 Simplified to 3.
We already know segment lengths
AE = 12 congruent to BC = 12
ED = 4 congruent to DC =4
All we need to know now is segment BA, this is where we use the ratio of the two figures.
Segment HI is congruent to segment BA.
All we have to do here is multiply segment HI by the ratio to find segment BA.
2 × 3 = 6
So, BA = 6.
Now add all of our segments from the larger figure together!
6 + 12 + 12 + 4 + 4 = 38
Figure ABCDE has a perimeter of 38 in.
In order to solve this, what you need to do is ...
-- take a pencil and a piece of paper
-- draw 4 sets of x/y axes
-- on the first set, draw the square in its original position
-- rotate the square 90° and draw it again, in its new position
-- rotate it 90° more (total of 180°) and draw it again, in its new position
-- rotate it 90° more (total of 270°) and draw it again, in its new position.
-- draw all three 'new' positions on to the first drawing.

You'll have the answer, but you won't learn anything. Next time you
encounter a similar problem, you still won't know how to look at it,
and you'll need to go asking for help again.
-- The large figure that is formed by the four squares is
a large square, with the origin at its center.
-- The length of each of its sides is '2S' .
-- Its left and right sides are parallel to the y-axis.
Its left side is 'S' to the left of the y-axis.
Its right side is 'S' to the right of the y-axis.
-- Its top and bottom are parallel to the x-axis.
Its top is 'S' above the x-axis.
Its bottom is 'S' below the x-axis.
Hey, there !
If you want to know it as a "improper fraction" , you can
Multiply the denominator from the front number
Whatever the denominator and front number is , you add it to the numerator
So, for this problem we first have the multiply the front number from the denominator
Like: 8 (40)
That gives us the answer of: 320
Now we have to add 320 to 21
Like: 320 + 21
That gives us the answer of:341
We keep our denominator (which is "40" )
Your improper fraction would be:
341 / 40
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

It's a square. A parallelogram with four equal sides is a square.
Answer:
No, 2.11 is not a repeating decimal. A repeating decimal is one which goes on forever, but you can easily see that 2.11 ends.
Hope this helps :)
