Question

5. Write a simplified expression for the perimeter of a rectangle with length 5x+2 and width 6x+8Write answers in standard form.I

Answer 1

Length of the Rectangle = 5x+2

Width of the rectangle = 6x+8

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(Length + Width )

Therefore:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Perimeter}=2(5x+2+6x+8) \\ =2(5x+6x+2+8) \\ =2(11x+10) \\ =22x+20 \end{gathered}$

The perimeter of the rectangle in simplified standard form will be:

$Perimeter=2(11x+10)\text{ Units}$
