I will give brainliest to first CORRECT answer.

A garden in the shape of a right triangle has a perimeter of 72 feet. If the lengths of the sides of this garden are each lengthened by a factor of 8, what would be the perimeter of the new enlarged garden?

A. 352 ft.
B. 488 ft.
C. 576 ft.
D. 692 ft.

Respuesta :

Perimeter of the new triangle is 576 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given the perimeter of the right triangle = 72 ft. Find new perimeter.

Perimeter of the triangle = sum of the sides = a + b + c = 72 ft

Each side is multiplied by 8, so new sides are 8a, 8b, 8c

⇒ New perimeter = 8a + 8b + 8c = 8(a + b + c) = 8 × 72 = 576 ft
