What number do we multiply 6 by to get 72?

anonymous · Answer

12, but I am confused about converting them, since they are different measurements.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

That really doesn't matter. Notice how the perimeter of the smaller quadrilateral is 6+3+3+4 = 16 inches

So the perimeter of the larger walkway is 12*16 = 192 feet
