Answer:
The area would be doubled also
The perimeter will be increased in a factor of 1.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Originally the area of new crate = L * B = 1.2 * 0.8 = 0.96 m^2
perimeter is 2(L+ B) = 2(1.2 + 0.8) = 4 m
Now let’s double the width , it becomes 0.8 * 2 = 1.6 m
Area would be 1.6 * 1.2 = 1.92 m^2 which is two times the previous area
The increased perimeter will be 2(1.6 + 1.2) = 5.6 m
This is an increase in factor of 1.4
