supposed*
OpenStudy (kayla2001):
no I cant but it is a rectangle and on the long part it is 5x+5 and on the short ends it is 2x-1
and the question is asking me to set it up and simplify it as a polynomial
OpenStudy (spyro517):
that makes it easier since its a rectangle. got confused since you said it was a triangle
OpenStudy (spyro517):
perimeter if I remember correctly is adding all the sides together. so all you have to do is set it up as a polynomial
OpenStudy (spyro517):
do you know how?

no
I don't
OpenStudy (spyro517):
polynomial is bassically a multiple step problem. 5x+5 + 5x+5 + 2x-1 + 2x-1 should be how to set it up
OpenStudy (kayla2001):
okay
OpenStudy (spyro517):
now you just have to simplify it and you have your answer
OpenStudy (kayla2001):
it would be 14x+8 thank you so much
