A small farm field is a square measuring 230 ft on a side. What is the perimeter of the field? If you
double the length of each side of the field, what is the new perimeter?
For this question, I came up with 920ft, 1840ft. Am I correct?
Yes, both are correct.
To find the perimeter of a square, you simply need to add up the lengths of all four sides.
In this case, the small farm field is a square with each side measuring 230 ft. Therefore, its perimeter would be 230 ft + 230 ft + 230 ft + 230 ft = 920 ft.
Now, to find the new perimeter after doubling the length of each side, you need to calculate the new length of each side. Doubling the length of each side would make it 2 times the original length, so each new side would measure 2 * 230 ft = 460 ft.
Similar to before, to find the new perimeter, you need to add up the lengths of all four sides. Therefore, the new perimeter would be 460 ft + 460 ft + 460 ft + 460 ft = 1840 ft.
So, your answers of 920 ft and 1840 ft are correct!
