A rug maker is using a pattern that is a rectangle with a length of 96 inches and a width of 60 inches. The rug maker wants to increase each dimension by a different amount. Let l and w be the increases in the length and width. Write and simplify an expression for the perimeter of the new pattern.
p=2(96+l)+2(60+w)
This is the equation. p is for perimeter. (96+l) represents the original length plus the change in length. The 2 before (96+l) represents that there is one length on each side of the rectangle.
Same for the width. (60+w) represents the original width plus the change in width. The 2 before (60+w) represents that there is one width on each side of the rectangle.
The simplified equation is p=(192+2l)+(120+2w) (this is your answer)
I hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let α represent the acute angle between the horizontal and the straight line from the plane to the station. If the 4-mile measure is the straight-line distance from the plane to the station, then
sin(α) = 3/4
and
cos(α) = √(1 - (3/4)²) = (√7)/4
The distance from the station to the plane is increasing at a rate that is the plane's speed multiplied by the cosine of the angle α. Hence the plane–station distance is increasing at the rate of
(440 mph)×(√7)/4 ≈ 291 mph
