Question 1177553
the dimensions of the yard are l3ngth 40 and width 32.


the patio is going to have the same shape, only smaller.


the length of the patio is 14 feet.


the ratio of the length of the patio to the length of the yard is 14/40.


since the patio and the yard are to have the same shape, then that same ratio of 14/40, applied to the width of 32, gives you a patio width of 14/40 * 32 = 11.2.


the perimeter of your new patio is 2 * (14 + 11.2) = 2 * 25.2 = 50.4.
