By figure perimeters are equal :

4s = 3t= 5p

=> $$t = \frac{4}{3}s$$ and $$s =\frac{5}{4}p$$
=> p<s<t

Hi Bunuel,

Since it is mentioned in the image that "Figure not drawn to scale", please confirm if the polygons are to be considered "Regular"?

Since perimeters are equal
4s = 3t = 5p
s = 0.75t
p = 0.6t
So s:p:t = 0.75:0.6:1
Hence p<s<t

Pick a smart number for the perimeter that is a multiple of 4, 3, and 5 (the number of sides, respectively, of the figures).

Let the perimeter for all equal 60. To get side lengths, divide perimeter by # of sides

s = 60/4 = 15
t = 60/3 = 20
p = 60/5 = 12

p < s < t
