Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the equation for finding the sides (just to show):

68 = (2L + 2W)

We multiply L and W by 2 because there are two of the lengths and 2 of the widths.

Now, we add the scale factor to the outside, but on both sides of the equation.

68 × 1.5 = 1.5(2L + 2W)

Multiply 68 by 1.5.

102 = 1.5(2L + 2W)

The answer is 102.

The perimeter of the resulting rectangle is 102 ft.
