Question

Please help! I'm super confused.

Answer 1

Answer:

10y + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle or square is [length + length + width + width = perimeter  or  2(length) + 2(width) = perimeter]

Our length here is y + 2. Either formula you use, [(y+2) + (y+2) or 2(y+2)] you should get the answer 2y + 4.

Next our width. The width is 4y-1. Either formula you use, [(4y-1) + (4y-1) or 2(4y-1)] you should get 8y - 2.

Then, simply add (2y+4) and (8y-2) to get 10y + 2. So, the perimeter of the garden is 10y + 2.

I hope this helps!
