Question

Someone please I’m desperate (helppp answer this math problem)

Anyone who knows how to do this correctly write an expression for the perimeter shape. thanks

Answer 1

8x + 8y + 16

Explanation:

It is simple perimeter is the sum of all side of the polygon (figure) so

P = (4X+5) + (2Y) + (X+5) + (2Y+3) + (3X) + (4Y+3)

I write

• (4X+5) b/c it is one side of the figure
• (2Y) b/c it is one side of the figure too
• (X+5) by subtracting (3X) from (4X+5)
• (2Y+3) b/c it is one side of the figure
• (3X) b/c it is one side of the figure
• (4Y+3) by taking the sum of the 2 opposite side (2Y) and (2Y+3).

so

P = (4X+5) + (2Y) + (X+5) + (2Y+3) + (3X) + (4Y+3)

P = 8x + 8y + 16

so the perimeter of the figere is 8x + 8y + 16
