The perimeter of the larger polygon will have the same ratio to the perimeter of the smaller as the ratio of the corresponding sides. Therefore, the larger polygon will have a perimeter of 30(15/12) = 37.5, or 38 to the justified number of significant digits stated.

What is the Perimeter of a polygon?
The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of all the measures of its sides.The perimeter of a n sided polygon is ((2sqrtAsqrttan(pi/n))/sqrtn)n.If the radius is known it is 2nRsin(180/n).Due to no mathematical formatting it may not be very clear so I have put together a Google Doc with all the mathematical formulas at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I--eWQlnzKbVPwKXNLpARkzxlIePWhz7VLRXnyF3t68/pub
Does a polygon with a greater area always have a greater perimeter?
No it depends on the size of the polygon
What regular polygons have rotational symmetry?
All of them have rotational symmetry because all the sides and angles have to be the same in order for the polygon to be a regular polygon
If the sum of the interior angle measures of a polygon is 2340 how many sides does the polygon have?
15
What is a polygon with 3 sides called?
there isn't a polygon with 3 sides but there are triangles. polygons start with hexgons; 5 sided shapes.
What is the name of a polygon that has the perimeter of 16cm?
Any type of polygon can have a perimeter of 16 cm. There is no special name for polygons whose perimeter is 16 cm.
What is the definition of corresponding sides?
n. in congruent polygons, the pairs of sides which can be superimposed on one another. In similar polygons, the ratio of the length of a side on the larger polygon to the length of its corresponding side on the smaller polygon is the same for all the sides.
What is the sum of all the measures of the sides of a polygon?
perimeter
What do you call the sum of the measures of the sides of polygon?
Perimeter
If to polygons are similar how can you find the scale factor?
You divide a length of one polygon by the corresponding length in the other polygon. Any length will do, as long as you use the corresponding length in both.
What are congruent polygon?
The regular polygon is congruent
What is the the difference between a polygon and perimeter?
A polygon is a closed plane figure that is bound by at least three straight sides. Perimeter is the total lengths of the sides of a shape. They are different because a polygon refers to the shape, and perimeter refers to the distance around a shape. The perimeter refers to the path traveled around the outside of some area. All polygons have a perimeter. Shapes that are not polygons also have a perimeter -- such as circles, semicircles, and the shapes of most letters.
Can a congruent polygon have unequal corresponding side lengths?
No, the definition of congruent polygons is that all corresponding SIDES are of equal length. All corresponding angles as well.
For perimeter of a polygon do you times the sides?
For the perimeter of a polygon you add the sides to find the total distance around the shape. For area, you multiply using the various formulas for different polygons.
How do you solve regular and irregular polygons?
The answer depends on what you mean by "solve" a polygon. Do you want to find the number of sides or vertices, or lengths of sides, or measures of angles, or their sum, or the area of the polygon or its perimeter? And the answer, in most cases, will depend on what information you do have.The answer depends on what you mean by "solve" a polygon.

One exterior angle of a regular polygon measures 40 What is the sum of the polygons interior angle measures?
1260 degrees
What is the longest side of a polygon if polygons perimeter is 150 cetimeter?
It must be less than half that length.
