Question

The width of a rectangle measures (5v-4w)(5v−4w) centimeters, and its length measures (3v+7w)(3v+7w) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the rectangle?

Answer 1

P = 2( 8v +3w)

P = 16v +6w

Explanation:

P = 2 ( l+w) for a rectangle

P = 2((3v+7w)+ (5v-4w))

Combine like terms

P = 2( 8v +3w)

Distribute

P = 16v +6w
