Answer:
The answer is 15 units is the answer boom
Step-by-step explanation:
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
