Question

The perimeter of the original rectangle is 16 feet. A small rectangle has a length of 6.2 feet and width of 1.8 feet. A larger rectangle has a length of 12.4 feet and width of blank. Not drawn to scale What is the perimeter of the enlarged rectangle? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

32 ft

2·1.8 ft = 3.6 ft.

Answer 2

Answer:

  32 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the larger rectangle is double that of the smaller one. If we assume the rectangles are similar, the perimeter will be double as well:

  2·(16 ft) = 32 feet . . . . perimeter of larger rectangle

__

The width of the larger one is 2·1.8 ft = 3.6 ft.
