Algebra.Com's Answer #82066 by ilana(307)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Parts A and B are the same basic area and perimeter calculations, using the formulas A=l*w and P=2l+2w. \n" ); document.write( "For part C you need to find the percent of increase of the area. If something is getting bigger, it must be at least 100% the original. If it doubles, it is 200. If it goes from, for example, 4 to 8, then you could do 8/4=2, and multiply by 100 to get an increase of 200%. Now you just need to use the numbers you were given to solve the problem. \n" ); document.write( " |
