Its 5y sorry if it’s wrong
Answer:
Original garden: 42 feet
Enlarged garden: 98 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = length (2) + width (2)
<u>Original perimeter:</u>
P = 15(2) + 6(2)
P = 30 + 12
P = 42 feet
In this problem, similar is proportional, so the new garden will be proportional to the old one.
If the original length was 15 and the new length is 35, then 15 would have had to have been multiplied by 2 1/3. That means you need to multiply 6 by 2 1/3, which is 14. That means the dimensions of the enlarged yard is 14 (width) × 35 (length).
<u>Enlarged perimeter</u>
P = 35(2) + 14(2)
P = 70 + 28
P = 98 feet
