The perimeter of the original rectangle is: P = 2w + 2l = 70 The area of the original rectangle is: A = w * l = 250 Then, by modifying the length of its sides we have: Perimeter: P '= 2 (2w) +2 (2l) Rewriting: P '= 2 (2w + 2l) P '= 2P P '= 2 (70) P '= 140 Area: A '= (2w) * (2l) Rewriting: A '= (2) * (2) (w) * (l) A '= 4 * w * l A '= 4 * A A '= 4 * 250 A '= 1000 Answer: the new area and the new perimeter are: P '= 140 A '= 1000
