Question

Sarah's rectangular garden has a perimeter of 3 27 +3 27 +258 +218 cm

What is the perimeter of the rectangle in simplest form?

Answer 1

Sarah’s perimeter is 1130

Answer 2

Alright , so basically the permiter that is given is like this:

327+327 +258+258 cm = 1170cm

now this can also be written as: 2(327+258)cm =1170cm

wait, its given as 258 and 218 cm. the width should be same actually , then only you can simplify it in order to get it in an expression ( simplest form)
