4.5? (5 points)
6 cm
H
8 cm
O Perimeter - 126 cm, area = 131.25 cm?
O Perimeter = 46 cm, area = 972 cm?
Perimeter = 126 cm, area = 972 cm2
Perimeter - 46 cm, area = 131.25 cm2

Answer 1

Perimeter is 126cm and area is 972
`cm^2`

Explanation:

Scale factor means you multiply the dimensions by the factor. In this case 4.5

The width 6cm becomes 27cm. The length 8cm becomes 36cm.

Perimeter = 2*L + 2*W, L is length and W is width.

`P=27*2cm+36*2cm\\P=54cm+72cm\\P=126cm`

Area = L*W

`A=27cm*36cm\\A=972cm^2`
