Answer:
How is this related to math?
Step-by-step explanation:
Percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100
percent change = (54 - 48)/(48) * 100 = 6/48 * 100 = 0.125 * 100 = 12.5%
<h3>
Answer: 35 inches</h3>
Each side of the pentagon is multiplied by 5/3 to get the length of each new side, so the perimeter is multiplied by 5/3 to get the new perimeter.
New perimeter = (scale factor)*(old perimeter)
New perimeter = (5/3)*(old perimeter)
New Perimeter = (5/3)*(21)
New Perimeter = (5/3)*(21/1)
New Perimeter = (5*21)/(3*1)
New Perimeter = 105/3
New Perimeter = 35 inches
