A rectangular mural measures 3 feet by 5 feet. Sharon creates a new mural that is 1.25 feet longer. What is the perimeter of Sharons new mural?

The answer is 18.5

correct

its soooooooooooooo easy its obvyisly 18.500000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

To find the perimeter of Sharon's new mural, we first need to calculate the dimensions of the new mural.

We know that the original mural measures 3 feet by 5 feet. Sharon creates a new mural that is 1.25 feet longer. So, the length of the new mural will be 5 feet + 1.25 feet = 6.25 feet.

The width of the new mural remains the same as the original mural, which is 3 feet.

Now, let's calculate the perimeter of the new mural.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(l + w), where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width.

Substituting the values, we get P = 2(6.25 ft + 3 ft) = 2(9.25 ft) = 18.5 feet.

Therefore, the perimeter of Sharon's new mural is 18.5 feet.
