Answer: 33.6 feet

Explanation:

Since the small rectangle has a width of 4 feet and a length of 10 feet. It simply means that the length is 2.5 times the width.

A larger, similar rectangle has a length of 12 feet. The width will be:

= 12 / 2.5

= 4.8 feet

The perimeter of the larger rectangle will then be:

= 2(Length + Width)

= 2(12 + 4.8)

= 2 × 16.8

= 33.6 feet
