Question

Side of the square is increased by 5 if the ratio of the perimeters of the new square and given square is 3:2 find the perimeter of new square

Answer 1

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

let the side of the square be s

and it is increased by 5

so the new length of the side will be s+5

the perimeter of the given square will be 4s

the perimeter of the new square will be 4(s+5)

given 4(s+5)/4s=3/2

cross multiply

4s*3=2*(4s+5)

12s=8s+40

4s=40

s=10

the perimeter of the new square will be 4(s+5)

=4(15)

60
