Perimeter is the sum of distances of sides of a shape.|dw:1412212836051:dw|
What do you think?

anonymous · Answer

so add this up?

anonymous · Answer

Add all four sides to find the perimeter. However, what the question is asking you for is another way to express adding it all up.

In essence, which expression is the same as 26+26+17+17

anonymous · Answer

86

anonymous · Answer

/Expression/. 86 is not one of the answer choices. The question is not asking you for the answer.

b

anonymous · Answer

yep. there are 2 sides of 26 and 2 sides of 17
so double 26 and double 17
