Macy · Answer 2

4 mm by 5 mm 1/3 the perimeter of the original

Step-by-step explanation:

When each of the dimensions is multiplied by 1/3, the result is a rectangle that is ...

(12 mm) · (1/3) by (15 mm) · (1/3) = 4 mm by 5 mm

The result is ...

a smaller rectangle with length 4 millimeters and width 5 millimeters

__

The perimeter of the smaller rectangle has the same ratio to the original that the side lengths do.

The new perimeter will be 1/3 times the perimeter of the original rectangle.
