Question

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with sides 2/3x+10 and 1/3x+5

Answer 1

Answer:

The perimeter of the rectangle  is 2x+ 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides of the rectangle are 2/3x+10 and 1/3x+5

Now, Perimeter of the Rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)

Here, sum of the sides = $(\frac{2}{3}x + 10 ) + (\frac{1}{3}x + 5 ) = (\frac{2}{3}x +\frac{1}{3}x ) + ( 10+ 5 )$

adding like terms with like terms, we get

($\frac{2x + x}{3}) + 15 = \frac{3x}{3} + 15$

Hence, Sum = (x + 15)

Now,  2(Length + Breadth)  = 2(x+15) = 2x + 30

hence, the perimeter of the rectangle  = 2x+ 30
