Question

I am so sorry! I am terrible at math!

Suppose the length and the width of the sandbox are doubled. (Look at the picture)
Find the percent change in the perimeter
Find the percent of change in the area

Answer 1

i have been learning this at school just add 6+6 and 10+10

Answer 2

percent change=change/original times 100

perimiter
if length and width double then the perimiter doubles
because
P=2(L+W)
L=10
W=6
old one
P=2(10+6)
P=2(16)
P=32
new one
20 and 12
P=2(20+12)
P=2(32)
P=64

percent change=change/original times 100
change=64-32=32
original=32
percent change=32/32 times 100=100%



area
old are=legnth tiems wdith =6 times 10=60
nwe one
area=12 times 20=480
change is 240-60=180
percent change=180/60 times 100=3 times 100=300





perimiter is 100% change
area is 300% change
