The percentage change in perimeter is 100%.

The percentage change in area is 300%

<h3>How to find perimeter and area?</h3>

The perimeter of the sandbox = 2l + 2w

where

l = length
w = width

Therefore,

perimeter = 2(10) + 2(6)

perimeter = 20 + 12 = 32 ft

The area of the sand box = lw

area = 10 × 6 = 60 ft²

If the length and width are doubled,

length = 2(10) = 20 ft

width = 2(6) = 12 ft

hence,

perimeter = 2(20) + 2(12) = 40 + 24 = 64 ft

area = 12 × 20 = 240 ft²

Therefore,

percentage change in perimeter = 64 - 32 / 32 × 100 = 100%

percentage change in area = 240 - 60 / 60 × 100 = 18000 / 60 = 300%

Answer: see proof below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given: A + B + C = π → A = π - (B + C)

→ B = π - (A + C)

→ C = π - (A + B)

Use Sum to Product Identity: sin A - sin B = 2 cos [(A + B)/2] · sin [(A - B)/2]

Use the following Cofunction Identity: cos (π/2 - A) = sin A

<u>Proof LHS → RHS:</u>

LHS: sin A - sin B + sin C

= (sin A - sin B) + sin C

$\text{Sum to Product:}\quad 2\cos \bigg(\dfrac{A+B}{2}\bigg)\cdot \sin \bigg(\dfrac{A-B}{2}\bigg)+2\cos \bigg(\dfrac{C}2{}\bigg)\cdot \sin \bigg(\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)$

$\text{Given:}\qquad 2\cos \bigg(\dfrac{\pi -(B+C)}{2}+\dfrac{B}{2}}\bigg)\cdot \sin \bigg(\dfrac{A-B}{2}\bigg)+2\cos \bigg(\dfrac{C}2{}\bigg)\cdot \sin \bigg(\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad =2\cos \bigg(\dfrac{\pi -C}{2}\bigg)\cdot \sin \bigg(\dfrac{A-B}{2}\bigg)+2\cos \bigg(\dfrac{C}2{}\bigg)\cdot \sin \bigg(\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)$

$.\qquad \qquad =2\cos \bigg(\dfrac{\pi}{2} -\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)\cdot \sin \bigg(\dfrac{A-B}{2}\bigg)+2\cos \bigg(\dfrac{C}2{}\bigg)\cdot \sin \bigg(\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)$

$\text{Cofunction:} \qquad 2\sin \bigg(\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)\cdot \sin \bigg(\dfrac{A-B}{2}\bigg)+2\cos \bigg(\dfrac{C}2{}\bigg)\cdot \sin \bigg(\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)$

$\text{Factor:}\qquad 2\sin \bigg(\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)\bigg[ \sin \bigg(\dfrac{A-B}{2}\bigg)+\cos \bigg(\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)\bigg]$

$\text{Given:}\qquad 2\sin \bigg(\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)\bigg[ \sin \bigg(\dfrac{A-B}{2}\bigg)+\cos \bigg(\dfrac{\pi -(A+B)}{2}\bigg)\bigg]\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad =2\sin \bigg(\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)\bigg[ \sin \bigg(\dfrac{A-B}{2}\bigg)+\cos \bigg(\dfrac{\pi}{2} -\dfrac{(A+B)}{2}\bigg)\bigg]$

$\text{Cofunction:}\qquad 2\sin \bigg(\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)\bigg[ \sin \bigg(\dfrac{A-B}{2}\bigg)+\sin \bigg(\dfrac{A+B}{2}\bigg)\bigg]$

$\text{Sum to Product:}\qquad 2\sin \bigg(\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)\bigg[ 2\sin \bigg(\dfrac{A}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{B}{2}\bigg)\bigg]\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =4\sin \bigg(\dfrac{A}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{B}{2}\bigg)\cdot \sin \bigg(\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)$

$\text{LHS = RHS:}\quad 4\sin \bigg(\dfrac{A}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{B}{2}\bigg)\cdot \sin \bigg(\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)=4\sin \bigg(\dfrac{A}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{B}{2}\bigg)\cdot \sin \bigg(\dfrac{C}{2}\bigg)\quad \checkmark$
