What will be the perimeter and the area of the rectangle below if it is enlarged using a scale factor of 5.5? Picture Will Be Attached! Perimeter = 50 cm, area = 155.25 cm2 Perimeter = 50 cm, area = 1,452 cm2 Perimeter = 154 cm, area = 155.25 cm2 Perimeter = 154 cm, area = 1,452 cm2
I'm pretty sure it's the last one
@XioGonz is this right?
we know that scale factor =5.5 the dimensions of the original rectangle are length is 8 cm, and the width is 6 cm. original perimeter=2*[8+6]
> 28 cm original area=8*6----> 48 cm²
perimeter of the larger rectangle=[scale factor]*original perimeter perimeter of the larger rectangle=5.5*28
> 154 cm
area of the larger rectangle=scale factor²*area original rectangle area of the larger rectangle=5.5²*48
> 1452 cm²
there for the answer is perimeter=154 cm area=1452 cm²
Thank you!
