Question

What is the perimeter, P, of a rectangle that has a length of x + 6 and a width of y-1?OP=x+y+5OP=x+y-7OP=2x + 2y + 10OP=2x+2y-10

Answer 1

GIVEN

A rectangle with length (x + 6) units and width (y - 1) units.

TO FIND

The perimeter of the rectangle.

SOLUTION

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:

`P=2\left(l+w\right)`

Substitute the values of the length and width into the formula:

`P=2(x+6+y-1)`

Simplify:

`\begin{gathered} P=2(x+y+5) \\ P=2x+2y+10 \end{gathered}`

ANSWER

`P=2x+2y+10`
