Question 1140550: Jamie painted a small rectangular drawing at
Art Club. He then made a scale drawing of his
original painting to create a similar rectangular
poster. He used a scale factor of to create the
rectangular poster. If the perimeter of the
smaller rectangle is 45 centimeters, what is the
perimeter of the larger rectangle? Answer by greenestamps(13198) (Show Source):
You are apparently using some non-standard characters to show the scale factor; it does not show up in your post.
And of course the problem can't be worked without knowing the scale factor.
However, finding the answer once the scale factor is known is trivial. Perimeter is a linear measurement; if the scale factor is x:1, then the perimeter of the larger rectangle is x times the perimeter of the smaller rectangle.
