Question

20 millimeters long with an area of (20x-200) square millimeters. Write an expression that represents the perimeter (in millimeters) of the octopus pupil.

Answer 1

Answer:

Perimeter = (20 + 2x) mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The octopus pupil has length 20 mm and the expression for its area is given by (20x - 200) square mm.

If the width of the octopus pupil is w, then 20w = 20x - 200

⇒ w = (x - 10) mm.

Therefore, the expression for its perimeter is 2(Length  + Width) = 2 ( 20 + x - 10) = 2( 10 + x) = (20 + 2x) mm. (Answer)
