Answer:

length = 24, width = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length and width of the first rectangle w + 15 and w respectively. This means that the length and width of the second rectangle is (w + 15) - 2 and w + 5 respectively. Since the perimeter of the second rectangle is 72, we can write:

2 * ((w + 15) - 2 + w + 5) = 72 because perimeter = 2 * (length + width)

(w + 15) - 2 + w + 5 = 36 (Divide by 2)

2w + 18 = 36 (Combine like terms)

2w = 18 (Subtract 18)

w = 9 (Divide by 2)

This means that the length and width are 24 and 9.

ANSWER ASAP GIVING BRAILIEST AND STUFF!
natita [175]

Answer:

24s^2, 54s^2, 96s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the initial side length of the cube.  Then the area of each face of the cube is A = 6s^2 (recalling that the area of a square of side length s is s^2).

a) Now suppose we double the side length.  The total area of the 6 faces of the cube will now be A = 6(2s)^2, or 24s^2 (a 24 times larger surface area),

b) tripled:  A = 6(3s)^2 = 54x^2

c) quadrupled?  A = 6(4s)^2 = 96s^2
