The perimeter of the given rectangle is 2(6 cm + 8 cm) = 28 cm The area of the given rectangle is (6 cm)*(8 cm) = 48 cm^2
The larger rectangle will have a perimeter of 6.5*28 cm = 182 cm The larger rectangle will have an area of 6.5^2*48 cm^2 = 2028 cm^2 . . . . . note the scale factor is squared for area
The appropriate choice is the 3rd one, ... <span>Perimeter = 182 cm, area = 2,028 cm^2</span>
