Question

Daniels garage is 8ft long by 10 ft wide. His living room is twice as long and twice as wide as his garage. Daniels house is 3 times as long and 4 times as wide as his living room. What is the total perimeter of his house?

Answer 1

The perimeter of his house: 256 ft

Explanation:

length of living room = 2 x length of garage

=2 x 8 ft

=16 ft

width of living room = 2 x width of garage

= 2 x 10 ft

= 20 ft

daniel house length = 3 x length of L.R

= 3 x 16 ft

=48 ft

daniel house width = 4 x width of L.R

= 4 X 20 ft

= 80 ft

preimeter of rectangle = 2[l + b]

= 2[ 48 +80 ]

= 256 ft

perimeter of house = 256 ft
