Answer:
% change in perimeter = 43. 44 %
% change in area = 16 %
Step-by-step explanation:
initial perimeter of the rectangle = 2(2p + p)
= 6p
initial area of the rectangle = 2p × p
= 2p²
therefore,
- new length = 2p + (2p × 0.4)
= 2p + 0.8p = 2.8 p
= p - 0.4p
= 0.6 p
- new perimeter = 2 ( 2.8 p + 0.6p)
= 3.4 p
= 1.68 p²
% change in perimeter
[tex] = \frac{6p - 3.4p}{6p} \times 100 \\ = \frac{2.6p}{6p} \times 100 \\ = 43.33\%[/tex]
% change in area
[tex] \frac{2 {p}^{2} - 1.68 {p}^{2} }{2 {p}^{2} } \times 100 \\ = \frac{0.32}{2} \times 100 \\ = 16\%[/tex]
