Given dimensions of a rectangular garden are:

length = 2(x+6) feet

width = 3.5x feet

using the distributive property on length we get, length = 2x+12

Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length+width)

So, P = 2(2x+12+3.5x)

Solving it we get,

P = 2(5.5x +12)   ..............adding like terms

P = (2\times5.5)+(2\times12) .............multiplying and adding

P = 11x+24

So, perimeter is 11x+24 feet. This value of fencing will be needed.

a rectangle has an area of 102 cm2. the length of the rectangle is 17 cm. what is the perimeter of the rectangle?
Kruka [31]
Area = length *width 

102 = 17*w

w = 102/17 = 6 

l=17
w=6

perimeter = 2l +2w
p = 2(l+w)
p=2*23

p = 46 cm
