Question

12) Two rectangles are similar. The length of small rectangle is 4 and the length of the big
rectangle is 12. If the perimeter of the smaller rectangle is 28, then what is the perimeter
of the larger rectangle

Answer 1

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

To get from 4 to 12, you multiply with 3.

Everything is 3 times as big in the larger rectangle.

This includes the perimeter.

Example:

small rect 4x10, perimeter 4+4+10+10 = 28

large rect 12x30, perimeter 12+12+30+30 = 84

but also 28x3 = 84
