Question

Find the perimeter of the rectangle below.
The width is 4x=2y and the length is 9x=8y.

Answer 1

The lengths of the sides should be expressions, not equations. Are you sure they are not 4x + 2y or 4x - 2y and 9x + 8y or 9x - 8y?

Answer 2

Yes I'm sure. This is a question on my take home algebra test. What I did was
2(9x+8y) + 2(4x+2y) = 18x+16y+8x+4y not sure if I did that correctly though.

Answer 3

yes you did that correctly

Answer 4

this is only one way of expressing the perimeter of course

Answer 5

and then I combined the like terms to get 26x+20y as my final answer.

Answer 6

yup

Answer 7

alright c: thank you all.

Answer 8
