The perimeter of the enlarged garden is 16.56 meters.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The garden is in the shape of a rectangle.

  • The length of the rectangle = 5.4 meters.
  • The width of the rectangle = 1.5 meters.

The Rectangle is enlarged by increasing the length and width by 20%.

<u>To find the enlarged length :</u>

The original length 5.4 is increased by 20%.

⇒ (20/100) × 5.4

⇒ 0.2 × 5.4

⇒ 1.08

  • The 20% of the length is 1.08
  • The enlarged length is 5.4 + 1.08 = 6.48 meters.

<u>To find the enlarged width :</u>

The original width 1.5 is increased by 20%.

⇒ (20/100) × 1.5

⇒ 0.2 × 1.5

⇒ 0.3

  • The 20% of the width is 0.3
  • The enlarged width is 1.5 + 0.3 = 1.8 meters.

The perimeter of the enlarged rectangle is found by substituting the enlarged values of length and width in the perimeter formula.

Perimeter of the enlarged rectangle = 2 (length + width)

⇒ 2 (6.48 + 1.8)

⇒ 2 × 8.28

⇒ 16.56 meters.

∴ The perimeter of the enlarged garden is 16.56 meters.

I need help with this question. Question is in image below. ​
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

A. Answer is 2263.

Checkpoint 1 is -86 Checkpoint 4 is 2177

Subtract -86 from 2177....2177-(-86)   

=2263

2263 is how much higher checkpoint 1 (-86) is from checkpoint 4 (2177)

B. 239 FEET.

the altitude of the hill must be subtracted by the depth of the ckeckpoint(2)(-189)

therefore the altitude of the hill comes out to be 428-189=239feet.

therefore,the actual altitude of the hill is 239 feet.
