Question

The length of a rectangle is 4x + 5 and the width is 8x - 4. what is the perimtleter?

Answer 1

Hi there!

Since the formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is length×2 + width × 2, we can follow this rule.

2 (4x + 5) + 2 (8x - 4)
= 8x + 10 + 16x - 8
= 24x + 2

So, the perimeter is 24x + 2.

Hope this helps!
