3.5 sq

Explanation:

Answer 2

49 inches

Explanation:

Perimeter of square Q is 49 inches.

Let x be the length of side of square P and y be that of square Q.

It is given in the question that :

x\y = 2\7

Also it is given that x=3.5 inches. Hence

3.5/y = 2/7

∴ y=12.25 inches.

Perimeter of square Q is 4y = 4 × 12.25 = 49 inches
