One polygon has a side of length 3 feet.A similar polygon has a corresponding side of length 9 feet.the ratio of the perimeter of the smaller polygon to the larger is
The ratio of the smaller to the larger is 3:9. That can also be written as a fraction, [tex] \frac{3}{9} [/tex], which of course can be reduced to [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] or 1:3. That's your ratio.
