Question

Daniels garage is 8ft long by 10 ft wide. His living room is twice as long and twice as wide as his garage. Daniels house is 3 times as long and 4 times as wide as his living room. What is the total perimeter of his house?

Answer 1

Answer:

The perimeter of his house: 256 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

length of living room = 2 x length of garage

                              =2 x 8 ft

                              =16 ft

width of living room  = 2 x width of garage

                             = 2 x 10 ft

                             = 20 ft

daniel house length =  3 x length of L.R

                            = 3 x 16 ft

                            =48 ft

daniel house width   = 4 x width of L.R

                             = 4 X 20 ft

                            = 80 ft

preimeter of rectangle = 2[l + b]

                               = 2[ 48 +80 ]

                              = 256 ft

perimeter of house = 256 ft
