PLEASE HELP

\The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of twice its length and twice its width. It can be represented by the expression 2l + 2w. WHat is the perimeter, in inches, of a rectangle with a length of 8.5 inches and a width of 5.75 inches?
A 14.25 inches
B 18.25 inches
C 22.75 inches
D 28.5 inches

Answer 1

D. 28.5 in.

Explanation:

Formula: P = 2l + 2w, l = length & w = width.

To solve this problem, just substitute the given value for l & w and simplify.

P = 2l + 2w; l = 8.5 & w = 5.75

P = 2(8.5) + 2(5.75)

P = 17 + 11.5

P = 28.5 in

Hope this helps!
