Question

The width of a rectangle, in feet, is represented by (3x + 2). The length of the rectangle, in feet, is represented by (5x + 4). Find the perimeter of the rectangle

Answer 1

(16x + 12) ft

Explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangle = 5x + 4 + 3x + 2 + 5x + 4 + 3x + 2

Perimeter of the rectangle = (16x + 12) ft

Answer 2

2*(5x+4) + 2*(3x+2)

= 10x + 8 + 6x + 2

= 16x + 10

The perimeter of the rectangle, in feet, is represented by (16x + 10)
