In order to answer that question, we need to know the scale of the map.
Without that information, no answer is possible.
I think you have it in the first part of the question ... the part you decided
not to post.

OK. Now that you've provided the scale of the map,
answering the question is a piece-o-cake.
Use a proportion:
(1 inch on the map) / (4 miles on the ground) = ('x' on the map) / (17 miles on the ground)
It can help because 9×4 =36, and 9×8=72. if you divide 72 by 2 you get 36 which is the answer to 9 ×4. basically because nine is the same in both problems you are multiplying by 4 (and you know 4 is half of 8) you can assume that multiplying the sum of 4 and 9 that you will get the sum of 8 and 9.

Solution,
We have,
Width of rectangle, b = (2.5u+9.8) cm
Length of rectangle, l = (1.5u+3.9) cm
We need to find the expression for the perimeter of the rectangle. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
Perimeter = 2(l+b)
P = 2[(2.5u+9.8)+(1.5u+3.9)]
Collecting like terms
P = 2[(2.5u+1.5u)+(9.8+3.9)]
P=2(4u+13.7)
⇒ P = 8u+27.4
So, the expression for the perimeter of the rectangle is (8u+27.4) cm.
I believe the mean its 14!
