Answer 1

Answer:

The perimeter of the rectangle is 27n + 1 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the perimeter of the rectangle is P = 2(L + W), where

• L is the length of the rectangle

• W is the width of the rectangle

∵ The width of a rectangle is 7n - 6.5 feet

∴ W = 7n - 6.5 feet

∵ The length of the rectangle is 6.5n + 7 feet

∴ L = 6.5n + 7 feet

→ Substitute W and L in the formula of the perimeter above

∵ P = 2[6.5n + 7 + 7n - 6.5]

→ Add the like terms

∴ P = 2[(6.5n + 7n) + (7 - 6.5)]

∴ P = 2[13.5n + 0.5]

→ Multiply the terms in the bracket by 2

∴ P = 27n + 1

∴ The perimeter of the rectangle is (27n + 1) feet
