Question

A rectangle has a length of (5x+2) and a width of (3x-7). Find the perimeter of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Perimeter = 2(5x-2)+2(3x-7)

Explanation:

The perimeter (P) of any rectangle can be represented in terms of length (L) and width (W) with the equation P=2L+2W.

You multiply the length and width of the rectangle by two, since it's only giving one expression for the length and width.
