The perimeter of the original rectangle is 16 feet. A small rectangle has a length of 6.2 feet and width of 1.8 feet. A larger rectangle has a length of 12.4 feet and width of blank. Not drawn to scale What is the perimeter of the enlarged rectangle? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

  32 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the larger rectangle is double that of the smaller one. If we assume the rectangles are similar, the perimeter will be double as well:

  2·(16 ft) = 32 feet . . . . perimeter of larger rectangle

__

The width of the larger one is 2·1.8 ft = 3.6 ft.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3
