twelve -------------------- The original rectangle is 12 feet in length and 5 feet in width. The length (12) is 7 feet greater than the width (5 feet). Were the length decreased by 3 (12 - 3 = 9) and the width increased by 2 (5 + 2 = 7), the perimeter would be 32 feet (9 + 7 + 9 + 7 = 32).

What would happen to the perimeter if the side lengths of a rectangle are halved?

The perimeter of a rectangle is just the sum of the lengths of its sides, so taking half of each of the sides would make the total half of its original value also.


What happens to the perimeter of a rectangle when you double one of its dimensions?

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by (2L plus 2W). If you double either the width or length dimension, then it is four times the original dimension, such as (4L plus 2W) or (2L plus 4W).


Which gases have increased and decreased from the original atmosphere?

Oxygen levels have decreased slightly due to human activities, while carbon dioxide levels have increased significantly due to the burning of fossil fuels. Other gases, like methane and nitrous oxide, have also increased due to agricultural and industrial activities.


What is the perimeter of the new figure who's side is increased by 2 units if the perimeter of the original 7 sided figure is 15?

29 unitsSince each side is increased by two units, and there are seven sides, then each side will be affected.The total effect will be (+2 units) x (7 sides)=+14units for the 7 sidesSince the original perimeter is 15, then15+14=29The perimeter is 29 units.


If the perimeter of a rectangular closet is 26 feet. If the length is increased by 4 feet and the width is increased by 3 feet the area of the closet will be 96 square feet. Find the dimensions?

You need to write two equations with two variables each, for the two facts. Remembering that the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the sides:Write an equation for the perimeter of the original rectangle:perimeter = 2(length + width)26 = 2(l+w) (equation 1)Write an equation for the area of the increased rectangle:A = length x widthA = (l+4)(w+3) (equation 2)Solve the two equations simultaneously; and you'll get the width and length of the original rectangle.


When you fold a square paper vertically the new rectangle has a perimeter of 39 inches what is the original area of the square?

When a square paper is folded vertically to form a rectangle with a perimeter of 39 inches, the length of the rectangle is 19.5 inches (half of the perimeter). Since the length of the rectangle is the same as the side length of the original square, the area of the original square can be calculated as the square of the side length, which is 19.5 inches squared, equaling 380.25 square inches.
