HELP PLEASE, WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST A rectangle has a base of 5 inches and a height of 7 inches. If the dimensions are cut in half
, what will happen to the perimeter of the rectangle? It will be half of the original size.
It will be two times the original size.
It will be one-fourth the original size.
It will be the same as the original size.
Let us try and solve it analytically. We have that the side=x+3 together with the short side=s and the diagonal=x+4 satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem. Then we have that . This yields which yields s^2=2x+7, hence a) is the correct answer.
. This yields
