Question

The school supply store is selling two different sizes of similar folders. The smaller folder is 6 inches wide and 9 inches

tall. The larger folder is 12 inches tall.
What is the perimeter of the larger folder?

Answer 1

The perimeter of the larger folder is 40 in

Explanation:

This is because it says the two folders are similar this means that the width of the larger folder is 8 inches because the scale factor is 4/3. You can see this when you divide the length of the larger folder by the length of the smaller folder. So, if you solve 8+12+8+12 to find the perimeter you will get 40 inches
