Answer 1

Therefore the perimeter of box B is =16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of shoe box A be 2x and the length of shoe box B be 3x

Given that the length of shoe box A is 10 inch and the width is 6 inch.

Therefore 2x = 10

⇔ x = 5

Therefore the length of box B is = (3×5) inch = 15 inches

Therefore the perimeter of box B is =(10+6) inches =16 inches.[box A and box are similar]
