Q. The width of a rectangle measures (1.3b1.6) (1.3 b-1.6) centimeters, and its length measures (9.9b+8.6) (9.9 b+8.6) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the rectangle?\newline0.6b+37 -0.6 b+37 \newline7+11.2b 7+11.2 b \newline22.4b+14 22.4 b+14 \newline0.3b+18.5 -0.3 b+18.5
  1. Substitute Expressions: The formula for the perimeter PP of a rectangle is P=2(length+width)P = 2(\text{length} + \text{width}). We need to substitute the given expressions for length and width into this formula.
  2. Combine Like Terms: Substitute the given expressions for length and width into the perimeter formula: P=2((1.3b1.6)+(9.9b+8.6))P = 2((1.3b - 1.6) + (9.9b + 8.6)).
  3. Simplify Terms: Combine like terms inside the parentheses: P=2((1.3b+9.9b)+(1.6+8.6))P = 2((1.3b + 9.9b) + (-1.6 + 8.6)).
  4. Distribute 22: Simplify the terms inside the parentheses: P=2((11.2b)+(7))P = 2((11.2b) + (7)).
  5. Perform Multiplication: Distribute the 22 across the terms inside the parentheses: P=2×11.2b+2×7P = 2 \times 11.2b + 2 \times 7.
  6. Perform Multiplication: Distribute the 22 across the terms inside the parentheses: P=2×11.2b+2×7P = 2 \times 11.2b + 2 \times 7.Perform the multiplication: P=22.4b+14P = 22.4b + 14.
