Answer:

5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

If the smallest rectangle has a length of 8 meters, and a perimeter of 24 meters then its width is given by:

24 = 2*8+2*W_1\\W_1= 4\ meters

We can conclude that the width is half of the length for both rectangles. Therefore, the width of the larger rectangle, with a perimeter of 30 meters, is:

30 = 2*W_2+2*L_2\\30 = 2*W_2+4*W_2\\W_2=5\ meters

The width of the original rectangle is 5 meters.

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

Let

z -----> the scale factor

P1 -----> the perimeter of the reduced rectangle on the right

P2 ----> the perimeter of the original rectangle on the left

substitute

step 2

Find the width of the reduced rectangle on the right

substitute the given values.

Find the width of the original rectangle on the left.
