Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

ok if I'm understanding this right the area=195ft^2 and the perimeter=56ft so the length=13ft and the width=15. so if you add 4ft to each side that would be 56/16= so the new perimeter=72 so the new area=323ft^2

Answer 6

Thanks Ariel. I got this answer, i was making sure you added 4ft to all the sides.

Thanks abunch!
