The perimeter of to similar polygon is 20 and 28. On side of the smaller polygon is 4. Find the corresponding side of the larger polygon

Hey there! :D

Use proportions to figure out the similarity and the missing side. 

The smaller polygon has a side of 4. 

[tex] \frac{4}{20} = \frac{x}{28} [/tex]

[tex]20*x= 4*28 [/tex]

[tex]20x=112[/tex]

[tex]x= 5.6 [/tex]

The corresponding side of the larger polygon is 5.6. 

I hope this helps!
