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.

How do you find a scale factor of a perimeter?
Often when working a problem with a scale factor, you are given two similar shapes, and a missing side. For example, you could be given a rectangle with sides A: 3 units and side B: 9 units. Then, you are given another similar rectangle, with side A: 6 units and side B: unknown. To solve this problem, you can simply create a proportion, known in this case as a scale factor. Similar to using a map to predict travel times on a road trip, you can simply create a proportion, in this case, 6:3, which simplifies to 2:1. In this case, the scale factor is 2, so the length of a similar side in the 1st shape is multiplied by 2 to get the length of the same side in the other (2nd) shape. Knowing this side is 9 in the first, and the scale factor is two, we know that the similar side in the 2nd shape is going to be 9 x 2 = 18 units long.

divide the perimeter by 27 the multiply it by 3 and then u get the answer
What is the greatest common factor of a polygon?
One factor that polygons have is the scale factor which is the ratio of the lengths of two corresponding sides of similar polygons. This would only pertain to two or more polygons of course. You could also look at a single polygon and find the GCF of the lengths of its sides. So for example if you have a 3,4,5 triangle, the GCF is 1. If you have a 6,8,10 triangle it is 2.
