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.

Help please! What is the slope?
Elza [17]

Answer:

Slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is how many units the y-coordinate goes up per 1 space it moves by the x-coordinate.

In this slope, its x goes to the right one unit while its y goes two up.

slope = \frac{rise}{run}.

In this case, the rise is 2 and the run is 1.

Therefore, the slope = 2/1 = 2.

Hope this helped!!

Have a nice day :)

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 6x + 12 = 3x - 27

   3x + 12 = -27

   3x = -39

    x = -13

2. 2p - 3 = 3p + 2

    -p - 3 = 2

     -p = 5

      p = -5

3. 6x - 2 - 35x -28 = 18x - 27

   -29x - 30 = 18x - 27

   -47x - 30 = -27

    -47x = 3

    x = -3/47
