Formula for perimeter of rectangle:
P=2(L+w)
P=2L+2w
Here Perimeter, p= 72 ft
And scale factor of length and width=3.5 which means rectangle is enlarged.
So perimeter of rectangle= 3.5 x 72
P=252ft 

Answer: 252 ft

We know the perimeter of the original rectangle is 72ft.
We also know that the perimeter P of the rectangle is defined as:
P=2L+2W.
So P is directly proportional to L+W. This means that if L or W were to get bigger, P will get bigger, and if L or W were to get smaller P will get smaller.

The question also states that both L and W are scaled by the same factor of 3.5 .
This means the sum of the dimensions L+W is scaled by 3.5
It also means that the perimeter is upscaled by 3.5 as it is proportional to L+W.
P = 72 ft × 3.5 = 252 ft.

252 ft is the answer.

Find the value of x in the picture
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: x=128\°

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember the following:

Angle\ formed\ by\ two\ chords=\frac{1}{2}(Sum\ of\ intercepted\ arcs)

In this case you can observe in the figure that "x" is an Angle formed by two chords, therefore, you can find its value applying the formula.

Therefore, the value of "x" is this:

x=\frac{1}{2}(202\°+54\°)\\\\x=\frac{1}{2}(256\°)\\\\x=128\°
