Question

The width of a rectangle measures (5.5d+9.7f)(5.5d+9.7f) centimeters, and its length measures (5.1d-3.5f)(5.1d−3.5f) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the rectangle?

Answer 1

21.2d + 12.4f

Explanation:

Given that:

Width of rectangle = (5.5d+9.7f) centimeters

Length of rectangle = (5.1d-3.5f) centimeters

Perimeter of a rectangle : 2 (length + Width)

2 [(5.1d-3.5f) + (5.5d+9.7f)]

2[5.1d - 3.5f + 5.5d + 9.7f]

2[10.6d + 6.2f]

= 21.2d + 12.4f

Hence, the perimeter is :

21.2d + 12.4f)
