Question

What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 5(2p + 3)?

Answer 1

P = 40p + 60

Explanation:

The formula of a perimeter of a square withe side a:

P = 4a

We have a = 5(2p + 3).

Substitute:

P = 4[5(2p + 3)] use the distributive property

P = 4[(5)(2p) + (5)(3)] = 4(10p + 15) = (4)(10p) + (4)(15)

P = 40p + 60
