The sides of a square are increased by a scale factor of 7. The perimeter of the smaller square is 16 ft. What is the perimeter of the larger square?
A.4ft.
B.28ft.
C.56ft.
D.112ft.
Is the answer B?
D 112
is it b or what. i aint tryna fail this test
the answer is 112 D112 is correct not 28
I did the test my self and 112 is correct
The answer would be B.
To find perimeter of a square, the formula is P=4s. p= perimeter. 4= the four sides of the square. and S= side. which in this case it would be P=4*7
i need explanation 💀
Sure, I apologize for the confusion.
You were given that the perimeter of the smaller square is 16 ft. This means that each of its sides is 4 ft because the formula for the perimeter of a square is P = 4s (where P is the perimeter and s is the length of one side).
Now, to find the perimeter of the larger square, you need to multiply the length of each side of the smaller square by the scale factor of 7.
So, the length of each side of the larger square would be 4 ft x 7 = 28 ft. Then, the perimeter of the larger square would be P = 4s = 4 x 28 = 112 ft.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) 112 ft.
To find the perimeter of the larger square, we need to determine the length of one side of the larger square. We are given that the sides of the smaller square are increased by a scale factor of 7.
To find the length of one side of the larger square, we can divide the perimeter of the smaller square by 4 (since a square has 4 equal sides). The perimeter of the smaller square is given as 16ft, so each side of the smaller square is 16ft / 4 = 4ft.
Now, we need to calculate the length of one side of the larger square. To do this, we multiply the length of one side of the smaller square by the scale factor of 7. 4ft * 7 = 28ft.
Finally, to find the perimeter of the larger square, we multiply the length of one side of the larger square by 4 (since a square has 4 equal sides). So, the perimeter of the larger square is 28ft * 4 = 112ft.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. 112ft.
Think about it ....
if perimeter of little square is 16, each side is 4
for the larger, each side is multiplied by 7, or ,
each side is 28
so perimeter of larger is .....
