Question

Turn the perimeters into simplified expressions (show work/steps).

a) 4s + 2t
b) 3s + 3t
c) 2s + 4t
d) 6s + t

Answer 1

To simplify perimeters, combine like terms and factor out common factors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter Simplification

1. For the expression 4s + 2t, we can't simplify it any further. The perimeter is already in its simplified form.
2. For the expression 3s + 3t, we can factor out a common factor of 3, resulting in 3(s + t).
3. For the expression 2s + 4t, we can factor out a common factor of 2, resulting in 2(s + 2t).
4. For the expression 6s + t, we can't simplify it any further. The perimeter is already in its simplified form.
