Answer:
Explanation:
Perimeter of the deck = (d + 5) + (d + 5) + (d + 5) + (d + 5)
1). By grouping method,
Perimeter = (d + d + d + d) + (5 + 5 + 5 + 5)
2). Perimeter = Number of sides × Length of a side
= 4(d + 5)
3). Expression from problem 1,
Perimeter = (d + d + d + d) + (5 + 5 + 5 + 5)
= 4d + 20
= 4(d + 5)
Expression from problem 2,
Perimeter = 4(d + 5)
Bot the expressions are same.
