I'm pretty sure it's the last one

Gucchi:

@XioGonz is this right?

kacchan:

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

kacchan:

perimeter of the larger rectangle=[scale factor]*original perimeter perimeter of the larger rectangle=5.5*28


> 154 cm

kacchan:

area of the larger rectangle=scale factor²*area original rectangle area of the larger rectangle=5.5²*48


> 1452 cm²

kacchan:

there for the answer is perimeter=154 cm area=1452 cm²

Gucchi:

Thank you!
