Question

The width of a rectangle is 8.25y - 9.5 feet and its length is 9.5y + 10 feet. Find the perimeter of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer: The perimeter of the rectangle is 35.5y + 1.

Explanation:

p = 2l + 2w; where p is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width.

p = 2(9.5y + 10) + 2(8.25y - 9.5)

p = 19y + 20 + 16.5y - 19

p = 35.5y + 1
