Question

X+8y
units
8x -x+5y units
what’s the perimeter?

Answer 1

P = 16x+26y units

Explanation:

Let the length is (x+8y) units

Width = (8x-x+5y) units

We need to find the perimeter. We know that the perimeter is equal to the sum of all sides.

P = 2[(x+8y) + (8x-x+5y)]

= 2[(8x+8y+5y)]

= 2[8x+13y]

= 16x+26y

Hence, the required perimeter is 16x+26y.
