Answer:
27 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Combined perimeter = perimeter of rectangle + perimeter of triangle = 63 inches
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L + W)
L = 11 in.
W = 7 in.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(11 + 7) = 36 in.
Let perimeter of the triangle be represented by x
Therefore:
36 + x = 63
Subtract 36 from each side
x = 63 - 36
x = 27
Perimeter of triangle = 27 inches
Answer:
Tristan is correct, because he needs to find the possible dimensions for rectangle WXYZ and then divide each dimension by 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rectangle ABCD is dilated by a factor of 3 to get the rectangle WXYZ whose area is found to be 72 cm².
Let the dimensions of the dilated rectangle WXYZ are a cm by b cm.
So, ab = 72 ........... (1)
Now, the dimensions of the original rectangle are 3 times lesser than the dimensions of rectangle WXYZ.
So, the area of rectangle ABCD will be cm² {from equation (1)}
Therefore, Tristan is correct, because he needs to find the possible dimensions for rectangle WXYZ and then divide each dimension by 3. (Answer)
