Asked by Shapin

A ladybug crawls around the outside of a rectangle that measures 8.5 cm by 9.5 cm. The ladybug stays exactly 3.6 cm from the rectangle at all times to form a larger figure.

What is the area of the new rectangle bound by the path of the bug?

Answered by henry2,
L = 3.6 + 9.5 + 3.6 = 16.7 cm.
W = 3.6 + 8.5 + 3.6 = 15.7 cm.

A = L*W = 16.7 * 15.7 = cm^2.
