Question

Jared drew this rectangle. Then, he drew another rectangle that was twice as long but had the same width. In what way do the area and perimeter of Jared’s new rectangle change from the area and perimeter of the original rectangle?

Answer 1

Explanation:

one rectangle has the area, A₁=LxW and,

perimeter P₁=2L+2W

the second rectangle has the area A₂=2L x W,

and perimeter P₂=2(2L)x2W= 4Lx2W

the second area doubles compared to the first area

the perimeter gets increased with double the length
