Answer:
OR 
Step-by-step explanation:
So first you find the difference between the new cost and the old cost:
450 - 370 = 80
So the increase was 80.
When you write it as a fraction you write the increase ( 80 ) over the starting cost ( 370 ).
Thus the answer becomes 
But you can always reduce it to its lowest terms thus:

To find the perimeter, you would add all the sides. Because we know the perimeter, we can represent this as an equation that needs solved.
362 = x + (2x) + (3x + 2), combine the like terms
362 = 6x + 2, subtract 2 from both sides
-2 -2
<u>360</u> = <u>6x</u>, divide both sides by 6
6 6
x = 60 feet
side 1 = 60 feet
side 2 = 120 feet
side 3 = 182 feet
check your work: 60 + 120 + 182 = 362 feet
Because ft is bigger than inches and 1ft is 12 inches
(base area)*h
