Question 1034799: Can you please help me with this problem:
Your family has decided to put a regular patio in your backyard similar to the shape of your backyard. Your backyard has a length of 40 feet and a width of 32 feet. The length of your new patio is 14 feet. Find the perimeter of your new patio.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We can use proportions to find the width of the patio...from that we can get the perimeter of it...
40w = 32*14
40w = 448
w = 448/40 = 11.2 feet
so that
P = 2L + 2W = 2(14) + 2(11.2) = 28 + 22.4 = 50.4 feet
