B.28ft.
C.56ft.
D.112ft.
Is the answer B?

Think about it ....

if perimeter of little square is 16, each side is 4

for the larger, each side is multiplied by 7, or ,
each side is 28
so perimeter of larger is .....

The answer would be B.
To find perimeter of a square, the formula is P=4s. p= perimeter. 4= the four sides of the square. and S= side. which in this case it would be P=4*7

Sure, I apologize for the confusion.

You were given that the perimeter of the smaller square is 16 ft. This means that each of its sides is 4 ft because the formula for the perimeter of a square is P = 4s (where P is the perimeter and s is the length of one side).

Now, to find the perimeter of the larger square, you need to multiply the length of each side of the smaller square by the scale factor of 7.

So, the length of each side of the larger square would be 4 ft x 7 = 28 ft. Then, the perimeter of the larger square would be P = 4s = 4 x 28 = 112 ft.

Therefore, the correct answer is D) 112 ft.
