Your neighbor has decided to enlarge his garden. the garden is rectangular with width 6 feet and length 15 feet. the new garden will be similar to the original one, but will have a length of 35 feet. find the perimeter of the original garden and the enlarged garden.

The perimeter of original garden is 42 feet

The perimeter of enlarged garden is 82 feet

Solution:

The perimeter of rectangle is given as:

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

Given that,

The garden is rectangular with width 6 feet and length 15 feet

Length = 15 feet

Width = 6 feet

Therefore, perimeter is given as:

Perimeter = 2(15 + 6)

Perimeter = 2(21)

Perimeter = 42

Thus perimeter of original garden is 42 feet

The new garden will be similar to the original one, but will have a length of 35 feet.

Length = 35 feet

Width = 6 feet

Therefore, perimeter is given as:

Perimeter = 2(35 + 6)

Perimeter = 2(41) = 82

Thus perimeter of enlarged garden is 82 feet
