Question

What is the perimeter of the figure to the right if x = 1?

A. 3
B. 10
C. 13
D. 28
F. 51
5x-2

Answer 1

perimeter = 26

Explanation:

perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W

where:

L = 5x² - 2

W = 7 + 3x

Let x = 1

find: Perimeter

-----------------------------------------------

substitute values into the formula:

P = 2(5 * 1² - 2) + 2(7 + 3 * 1)

P = 2(3) + 2(10)

P = 6 + 20

P = 26

therefore,

the perimeter = 26
