Question

A rectangle has a length of x inches and a width of 10 inches. Write an equation to represent the perimeter of the rectangle.

Answer 1

p = 2(10 + x) <-------------------

Answer 2

Perimeter of a rectangle can be calculated as twice the sum of its length and with.

So, we can write:

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

Length is given to be x inches and Width is given to be 10 inches. Using these values, we can write the perimeter as:

Perimeter = 2(x + 10) = 2x + 20 inches

Thus, the perimeter of the rectangle would be 2x + 20 inches or simply 2(x + 10) inches.
