Question

A) The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of its four sides. Write an expression for the perimeter of the rectangle and then evaluate when x=1/2 foot? B) The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width. Write an expression for the area of the rectangle and then evaluate when x=1/2 feet?

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

The length of this triangle is 3x+1 and the width is x.

The perimeter P is:

P= 2(3x+1)+2*x

P= 6x+2+2x

P= 8x+2

Let's evaluate it when x=1/2

●1/2 =0.5

P= 8*0.5+2 =4+2= 6 ft

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

The area A is:

A = (3x+1)*x

A= 3x^2 +x

Let's evaluate it when x=0.5 feet

A= 3*0.5^2 +0.5

A= 3*0.25+0.5

A= 0.75 +0.5

A= 1.25 ft^2
