Aregular pentagon with a perimeter of 21 inches is dilated by a scale factor of 5/3 to create a new pentagon. what is the perimeter of the new pentagon?

Each side of the pentagon is multiplied by 5/3 to get the length of each new side, so the perimeter is multiplied by 5/3 to get the new perimeter.

New perimeter = (scale factor)*(old perimeter)

New perimeter = (5/3)*(old perimeter)

New Perimeter = (5/3)*(21)

New Perimeter = (5/3)*(21/1)

New Perimeter = (5*21)/(3*1)

New Perimeter = 105/3

New Perimeter = 35 inches

-22

times both sides by 2, times () by 8, add alile terms, move terms, add alike and caculate divide both sides by 3
