48

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar polygons, every side of one polygon is a certain number of times bigger than the corresponding side of the other polygon. This number is the scale factor. Since the perimeter of each polygon is the sum of the lengths of the sides of that polygon, the perimeters also have the same scale factor that the sides do.

For example, if a triangle has 3 sides measuring 5 cm each and a similar triangle has 3 sides measuring 10 cm each, you see that each side of the second triangle is 2 times the length of the corresponding side of the first triangle. The scale factor from the smaller triangle to the larger triangle is 2. Now look at the perimeters. Since 5 + 5 + 5 = 15 and 10 + 10 + 10 = 30, the perimeters are 15 cm and 30 cm, and again, the perimeter of the second triangle is the same 2 times bigger than the perimeter of the first triangle.

Now look at your problem.

The perimeter of the smaller flag to the right is 16.

We see a side on the larger flag is 15, but we don't see the same side length on the smaller flag, so 15 does not help us.

Now we see that a side of the smaller flag measures 4 and the corresponding side of the larger flag measures 12. We divide the larger side length by the corresponding smaller side length to find the scale factor.

12/4 = 3

The scale factor from the smaller flag to the larger flag is 3. The perimeters also have the same scale factor of 3.

perimeter = 3 * 16 = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar polygons have their sides in proportion, and we call the proportion between pairs of corresponding sides on two similar polygons the scale factor between them. We want to find the perimeter of the larger flag given the smaller one, and comparing the side with length 12 on the larger one with the side of length 4 on the smaller, we get a scale factor of 12 / 4 = 3.

This tells us that all the lengths on the larger flag are 3 times longer than the corresponding lengths on the smaller flag. What happens to the perimeter when we scale all of the lengths? Well, if every side gets multiplied by three, the sum of those sides will naturally be multiplied by 3, too.

Our large flag has a perimeter 3 times bigger than the smaller one, then, and 3 × 16 = 48.

answer: no, but if it does it's a obvious pattern.
