Question

Write the perimeter of the floor plan shown as an algebraic expression in x.

Answer 1

Answer: 8+2x

Explanation:

Hi, Perimeter is the distance around a two-dimensional shape.

To calculate it, we have to add all the side lengths of the figure. The missing side is the ? side (right side). To obtain it we have to subtract the top right side length (2) to the left side length (12)

So, the expression is equal to:

P = 12+ (x-4) + (x-12) +2 +(12-2)

P = 12+ x - 4 +x -12+2 +10

P = 12-4-12+2+10+x+x

P =8+2x
