A box measures 4.6 meters by 2.6 meters a addition is built that is 2.5 meters longer what is the perimeter now
To find the perimeter of the box after the addition is built, we first need to calculate the dimensions of the box with the addition.
Given:
Length of the box = 4.6 meters
Width of the box = 2.6 meters
Increase in length due to the addition = 2.5 meters
To calculate the new length, we add the increase in length to the existing length:
New length = Length of the box + Increase in length
New length = 4.6 meters + 2.5 meters
New length = 7.1 meters
Now, we can calculate the perimeter of the box with the addition:
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width)
Perimeter = 2 × (7.1 meters + 2.6 meters)
Perimeter = 2 × (9.7 meters)
Perimeter = 19.4 meters
Therefore, the perimeter of the box after the addition is built is 19.4 meters.
The length of the box is 4.6 meters and the width is 2.6 meters. The perimeter of the box can be found by adding up all four sides of the rectangle.
Perimeter of the box = 2(length) + 2(width)
= 2(4.6) + 2(2.6)
= 9.2 + 5.2
= 14.4 meters
Now, an addition is built that is 2.5 meters longer than the box. This means the length of the addition is 4.6 + 2.5 = 7.1 meters.
The width of the addition remains the same at 2.6 meters.
To find the new perimeter, we add up all four sides of the larger rectangle.
New perimeter = 2(new length) + 2(width)
= 2(7.1) + 2(2.6)
= 14.2 + 5.2
= 19.4 meters
Therefore, the new perimeter is 19.4 meters.
To find the perimeter of the box with the addition, we need to calculate the sum of all four sides.
The original length of the box is 4.6 meters, and the original width is 2.6 meters.
So, the original perimeter is:
P1 = 2 × (Length + Width)
P1 = 2 × (4.6 + 2.6)
P1 = 2 × (7.2)
P1 = 14.4 meters
The addition is 2.5 meters longer than the original length, which means its length is:
Length of addition = original length + increase in length
Length of addition = 4.6 + 2.5
Length of addition = 7.1 meters
Now, we can find the new perimeter by adding the length and width of the addition to the original perimeter:
P2 = 2 × (Length + Width)
P2 = 2 × (4.6 + 2.6 + 7.1 + 2.6)
P2 = 2 × (16.9)
P2 = 33.8 meters
Therefore, the perimeter of the box with the addition is now 33.8 meters.
