the perimeter of the rectangle is P=2L%2B2W, where L is the length, W is the width of the rectangle
The perimeter of the first rectangle is P1=2l%2B2w=2%28l%2Bw%29units
The perimeter of the second rectangle is P2=2%2A2l%2B2%2A4w=4%28l%2B2w%29units
the perimeter of the second rectangle is much larger than the perimeter of the first rectangle %28P2%29%2FP1=%284%28l%2B2w%29%29%2F%282%28l%2Bw%29%29=%282%28l%2B2w%29%29%2F%28l%2Bw%29 times
