Question 611157: Given two rectangles, one with length = l and width = w, and the second rectangle with length = 2l and width = 4w. How much larger will the perimeter of the second rectangle be than the perimeter of the first rectangle? Answer by vleith(2983) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! perimeter is the sum of the sides.
For the first rectangle, the perimeter is since the four sides are l , l , w ,w
For the second rectangle, the sides are 2l and 4w. So the sides are 2l, 2l, 4w, 4w. Which sums to
So how much longer is the second than the first? longer
