Original Perimeter = 2.5 + 2.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 8
The longer dimension is 2.5 as 2.5 > 1.5To make 2.5 into 10, we must multiply by 4For the smaller length, we must also multiply by 41.5 x 4 = 6
New Perimeter = 10 + 10 + 6 + 6 = 32
Now find the difference between the old and the new perimeter32 - 8 = 24

Answer:
- 525 = (w+4)(w)
- 21 ft by 25 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width of the floor. Then the length of the floor is (w+4) and its area is ...
A = LW
525 = (w+4)(w)
w^2 +4w -525 = 0
(w -21)(w +25) = 0 . . . . factor the above
Solutions are ...
w = 21, w = -25
We are interested in the positive solution: w = 21.
The floor is 21 feet wide and 25 feet long.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
Sometimes, when the factors aren't obvious, it works well to write an equation for the average of the dimensions. Here, we can represent that with x, and use (x-2) for the width, and (x+2) for the length. Then we have ...
525 = (x-2)(x+2) = x^2 -4
529 = x^2
√529 = 23 = x
Then w=23 -2 = 21, and the length is w+4 = 25.

3 1/4 = 13/4 in improper fraction form.
13/4*-0.26 = -0.845. This is the difference in the change.

2 5/6 = 17/6 in improper form
17/6*-0.21 = -0.595 in difference.
