If the dimensions of a parallelogram are increased by a factor of two, how will the perimeter of the object be affected?increase by a factor of fourdecrease by a factor of one-fourthincrease by a factor of twodecrease by a factor of one-half
Accepted Solution
A:
Let x------------> length major side parallelogram y------------> length minor side parallelogram we know that [perimeter]=(2x+2y) Po=(2x+2y)
If the dimensions of a parallelogram are increased by a factor of two then x1=2x y1=2y P1=2x1+2y1----------> 2*[2x]+2*[2y]--------> P1=2*[2x+2y] P1=2*Po
the answer is the new perimeter increase by a factor of two
