Math Problem Statement

The figures below are similar. The labeled sides are corresponding. What is the perimeter of the larger square?

Solution

The problemThe involves problem involves determining the perimeter of the larger square (P1P_1) based on the given information. Here's how we can solve it:

Information from the image:

  1. The smaller square has a side length of 1mm1 \, \text{mm} and a perimeter (P_2 = 4 , two \ similartext squares{,mm one}\ larger). and2 one. smaller The. larger The square labeled has sides a are side corresponding length. of Let's ( solve4 this \ step, by \ steptext:

{###mm Key}\ Details),: and1 its. perimeter ** (SmallP square_:1** \ ) - Side length = ( 1 , \ needstext{mm} to \ be) calculated .

  • Perimeter ((### P_2 \ Step)) = (-by 4 , -steptext{ solutionmm: }The \ perimeter) (as given: 4×ofa14 \times of a1).
