Answer:

10x² + 8x + 22

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the measurements of all four side lengths added together

(you can simply multiply both side lengths by 2, because they are the same on both sides--but I'll write them all out for clarity)

side A (top): 5x² + 3x + 7

side B (right): x + 4

side C (bottom): 5x² + 3x + 7

side D (left): x + 4

perimeter = side A + side B + side C + side D

5x² + 3x + 7 + x + 4 + 5x² + 3x + 7 + x + 4

now, as you might have noticed, this is a long equation

so, we must combine like terms:

(this is the problem reordered so like terms are next to each other:)

(5x² + 5x²) + (3x + x + 3x + x) + (7 + 4 + 7 + 4)

10x² + 8x + 22

So, the perimeter of this rectangle is 10x² + 8x + 22

hope this helps! have a lovely day :)
