Question

Write and simplify an expression that represents the perimeter of the parallelogram.

what is the perimeter?

Answer 1

14x + 4

Explanation:

Perimeter is the length of all sides added together

2(2x + 3) + 2(5x-1)

4x + 6 + 10x - 2

14x + 4

Answer 2

Perimeter = 14x + 4 ⇒ 2 ( 7x + 2 )

Explanation:

We know that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal to each other.

Therefore, to find the perimeter of the parallelogram you have to add the four sides together.

Perimeter = 2 ( 2x + 3 ) + 2 ( 5x - 1 )

Now let us solve the expression.

2 ( 2x + 3 ) + 2 ( 5x - 1 )

First, solve the brackets.

4x + 6 + 10x - 2

Now combine like terms

14x + 4 ⇒ 2 ( 7x + 2 )
