10. The width of a rectangle is doubled and the length is halved. This produces a square with perimeter of Pem. What is the perimeter (in cm) of the original rectangle? A) 2.5p B) 1.25P C) 0.5P D) 2P E) None of these

9514 1404 393

  B) 1.25P

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the square is P, so each side is 0.25P. That means the rectangle had sides of 2(0.25P) and 1/2(0.25P) = 0.5P and 0.125P.

The rectangle's perimeter is ...

  perimeter = 2(L+W) = 2(0.5P +0.125P) = 2(0.625P)

  perimeter = 1.25P . . . . matches choice B

it would to have a graph or something ! but i had this question so its false

step-by-step explanation:

i think asking google will you get the answer to that question
