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.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points listed in the table?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

B. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(4, 3) (7, 9)     M = Slope

M = \frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}      Slope formula

M=\frac{9-3}{7-4}       Using the slope formula, plot both x and y intercepts

M=\frac{6}{3}           Slope needs to be simplified into a whole number

M=2

Find the perimeter for both questions. Both questions are compound shapes please provide working out.
Marrrta [24]
First one:
You take 10 + 3 =13 then add 9 then 5. That all equals 27. Then you add 1 for the top part that isn’t labeled because it’s 10 in the bottom then 9 at the top which means it’s 1. Then for the side that’s unlabeled it’s 2 since it’s all 5 then the other side is 3. Answer is 31



Second one:

This one is the same as #1. You add 14+6+3+4 = 27. The long horizontal unlabeled side is 11 bc 14-3 = 11. Then the other side 2. Answer is 30.
