Question

Zohar is using scissors to cut a rectangle with a length of 5x – 2 and a width of 3x 1 out of a larger piece of paper. which expression can be used to find the perimeter of the rectangle and what is the perimeter if x = 4? (5x−2) (3x 1); 31 centimeters (5x−2) (3x 1); 36 centimeters 2(5x−2) 2(3x 1); 62 centimeters 2(5x−2) 2(3x 1); 70 centimeters

Answer 1

The expression that can be used to find the perimeter of the rectangle is 62 centimeters 2(5x−2)+2(3x+1).

What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

The perimeter of the rectangle is equal to the 2 times sum of the length and width of the rectangle.

Zohar is using scissors to cut a rectangle with a length of 5x – 2 and a width of 3x + 1 out of a larger piece of paper.

The expression that can be used to find the perimeter of the rectangle is given by;

$\rm Perimeter \ of \ rectangle = 2 (length +width)\\\\\rm Perimeter \ of \ rectangle = 2 (5x-2+3x+1)\\\\ \rm Perimeter \ of \ rectangle = 2 (7x-1)\\\\ \rm Perimeter \ of \ rectangle = 16x-2\\\\When , x\ =\ 4\\\\ \rm Perimeter \ of \ rectangle = 14x-2\ = 16(4)-2\ =\ 64-2\ =\ 62$

Hence, the expression that can be used to find the perimeter of the rectangle is 62 centimeters 2(5x−2)+2(3x+1).
