Question

GIven that GR= x+5 and GP= 2x-3 which expression below calculates the perimeter of this gate? (x+5) + (2x-3) (x+5) + (2x-3) 2(x+5)-2(2x-3) 2(x+5)-2(2x-3) (x+5)+(2x-3) (x+5)+(2x-3) 2(x+5)+2(2x-3)

Answer 1

P = 2(x + 5) + 2(2x - 3)

Explanation:

GIven that GR= x+5 and GP= 2x-3 which expression below calculates the perimeter of this gate?

The shape of the gate is rectangular.

Hence, the Perimeter of a rectangle (the gate) = 2L + 2W

Where :

L = GR = x + 5

W = GP = 2x - 3

Hence,the perimeter of the gate is

P = 2(x + 5) + 2(2x - 3)
