Question

A square has sides of length s. A rectangle is 6 Inches shorter and 1 inches longer. Which of the following expression represent the perimeter of the rectangle?

4s-10
2s-5
s to the power of 2 - 5s-6
s to the power of 2 -5s+6

Answer 1

sides of the rectangle are 2 of length s - 6
and 2 of length s + 1

so its perimeter = 2(x - 6) + 2(s + 1)
simplify that and you have the answer
