Explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle
Perimeter = 2(width + length)
Given information:
![\textsf{width} = 3√(8)](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/hxs2tcrvkyj1v9paiydhdp6deksyvgo9e3.png)
![\textsf{length} = 4√(20)+2√(24)](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/4fz3qzysz2puqjmglbc66ml0eq1m18mshe.png)
Equivalent Expression 1
Substitute the given information into the formula:
![\sf Perimeter = 2(3√(8)+4√(20)+2√(24))](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/gc1akpe0ym4shblh4ruxbxg8rk2y63tl8l.png)
Equivalent Expression 2
Using the distributive property law, this can also be written as:
![\sf Perimeter = 2(3√(8))+2(4√(20)+2√(24))](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/6zza30zb0c25zsc5c5smpw4yi3drum81hw.png)
Equivalent Expression 3
Distribute the parentheses and simplify the radicals:
![\begin{aligned}\sf Perimeter & = \sf 2(3√(8)+4√(20)+2√(24))\\& = \sf 6√(8)+8√(20)+4√(24)\\& = \sf 6√(4 \cdot 2)+8√(4 \cdot 5)+4√(4 \cdot 6)\\& = \sf 6√(4)√(2)+8√(4)√(5)+4√(4)√(6)\\& = \sf 6 \cdot 2 √(2)+8 \cdot 2 √(5)+4 \cdot 2 √(6)\\& = \sf 12 √(2)+16 √(5)+8 √(6)\end{aligned}](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/lmn1u1rlnj4zzhei7v5nno703o4sqglfr7.png)
Equivalent Expression 4
Distribute the parentheses and rewrite the square roots as
:
![\begin{aligned}\sf Perimeter & = \sf 2(3√(8)+4√(20)+2√(24))\\& = \sf 6√(8)+8√(20)+4√(24)\\ & = \sf 6 \cdot 8^{(1)/(2)}+8 \cdot 20^{(1)/(2)}+4 \cdot 24^{(1)/(2)}\end{aligned}](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/cgt0a9sxlsf9kctdzkaz2a17repqg9wt9a.png)
Equivalent Expression 5
Rewrite the square roots as
:
![\sf Perimeter=12 \cdot 2^{(1)/(2)}+16 \cdot 5^{(1)/(2)}+8 \cdot 6^{(1)/(2)}](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/10ygruticnsqbdq48juaoeelhk27bbtxow.png)
