A rug maker is using a patter that is a rectangle with a length of 96 inches and a width of 60 inches. the rug maker wants to in
crease each dimension by a different amount. let l and w be the increases in inches of the length and width. write and simplify an expression for the perimeter of the new pattern
Recall that the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is: 2Length+2Width With this in mind, we have that the original design is 96×60, where 90 is length and 60 is width, so it would simply be: 2(96+l) + 2 (60+w) = New Perimeter Or simplified, it'd be: 2l + 2w + 312 = New Perimeter
I don't know if that is factor-able. It looks like you could just subtract and get 64t. which would lead to the answer being zero since you divide by zero when isolating the variable t.
