Answer: The mistake caused the perimeter to increase by 4 inches
The mistake caused the area to increase by 13 square inches
Step-by-step explanation: The original dimensions have been given as 5 inches by 7 inches. If this measurement had been correctly used, the perimeter was supposed to be;
Perimeter = 2(L + W)
Perimeter = 2(5 + 7)
Perimeter = 2(12)
Perimeter = 24 inches
Also the area was supposed to be;
Area = L x W
Area = 5 x 7
Area = 35 square inches
However, Sam accidentally printed a photo that is 6 inches by 8 inches, therefore the effect would be as follows;
Perimeter = 2(L + W)
Perimeter = 2(6 + 8)
Perimeter = 2(14)
Perimeter = 28 inches
And the Area would be
Area = L x W
Area = 6 x 8
Area = 48 square inches
From the calculations so far, the mistake would cause the perimeter to increase by 4 inches (28 inches - 24 inches).
Also the area would likewise increase by 13 inches (48 inches - 35 inches).
