Question

What will be the perimeter and the area of the rectangle below if it is enlarged using a scale factor of 5.5? A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled as 8 cm, and the width is labeled as 6 cm. 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

Answer 1

the answer is 154 cm, area = 1,452 cm2 I took the test

Explanation:

Answer 2

The perimeter of the rectangle is by definition:
P = 2W + 2L
Where,
W: width
L: long
We have then:
P = 2 (5.5 * 6) +2 (5.5 * 8)
P = 154 cm

The area of the rectangle is by definition:
A = (W) * (L)
Where,
W: width
L: long
We have then:
A = (5.5 * 6) * (5.5 * 8)
A = 1452 cm ^ 2

Answer:
Perimeter = 154 cm, area = 1,452 cm2
