1. **State the problem:**
We have two similar polygons, Polygon A and Polygon B.
Polygon A has a perimeter of 40 yards and a side length of 5 yards.
Polygon B has a perimeter of 360 yards.
We need to find the side length of the corresponding side of Polygon B.
2. **Recall the property of similar polygons:**
The ratio of corresponding side lengths is equal to the ratio of their perimeters.
3. **Set up the ratio:**
Let the side length of Polygon B be $x$ yards.
Then, $$\frac{x}{5} = \frac{360}{40}$$
4. **Simplify the right side:**
$$\frac{360}{40} = 9$$
5. **Solve for $x$:**
$$x = 5 \times 9 = 45$$
6. **Answer:**
The side length of the corresponding side of Polygon B is **45 yards**.
