Question

Given that a rectangular yard has dimensions length = 8x-3 and width 2x+6 determine the perimeter of the yard

Answer 1

The perimeter of rectangular yard is 20 x + 8 yard

Explanation:

Given as :

The length of the rectangular yard = L = 8 x - 3 yard

The width of the rectangular yard = w = 2 x + 6 yard

Let The perimeter of rectangular yard = p yard

According to question

Now, The perimeter of rectangular yard is given as

Perimeter = 2 × Length + 2 × width

Or, p = 2 × L + 2 × w

Or, p = 2 × (8 x - 3) + 2 × (2 x + 6)

Or, p = 16 x - 6 + 4 x + 12

Or, p = (16 x + 4 x) + (12 - 4)

Or, p = 20 x + 8 yard

So, The perimeter of rectangular yard = p = 20 x + 8 yard

Hence The perimeter of rectangular yard is 20 x + 8 yard Answer
