2. D: 42
3. G: 17b + 3
4. I: 105
CODE: EDGI
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2W + 2L
(where W is the width and L is the length)
Given:
- width = 2a + 3
- length = 8a - 12
Perimeter = 2(2a + 3) + 2(8a - 12)
= 4a + 6 + 16a - 24
= 20a - 18
Question 2
When a = 3
⇒ perimeter = 20(3) -18
= 60 - 18
= 42 centimeters
Question 3
The dashes on the side lengths mean those sides are equal in length.
⇒ perimeter = (7b - 2) + (7b - 2) + (3b + 7)
= 17b + 3
Question 4
When b = 6
⇒ perimeter = 17(6) + 3
= 102 + 3
= 105 meters
