Q. The width of a rectangle measures (3t+1) (3 t+1) centimeters, and its length measures (10t+5) (10 t+5) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the rectangle?\newline26t+12 26 t+12 \newline8t+30 8 t+30 \newline15+4t 15+4 t \newline13t+6 13 t+6
  1. Perimeter Formula: The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding together twice the width and twice the length. The formula for the perimeter PP of a rectangle is P=2×width+2×lengthP = 2 \times \text{width} + 2 \times \text{length}.
  2. Substitute Values: Given the width ww is 3t+13t+1 centimeters and the length ll is 10t+510t+5 centimeters, we can substitute these values into the perimeter formula: P=2×(3t+1)+2×(10t+5)P = 2 \times (3t+1) + 2 \times (10t+5).
  3. Distribute 22: Now we distribute the 22 into each term inside the parentheses: P=2×3t+2×1+2×10t+2×5P = 2 \times 3t + 2 \times 1 + 2 \times 10t + 2 \times 5.
  4. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication: P=6t+2+20t+10P = 6t + 2 + 20t + 10.
  5. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms: P=(6t+20t)+(2+10)P = (6t + 20t) + (2 + 10).
  6. Add Like Terms: Add the like terms: P=26t+12P = 26t + 12.
  7. Final Expression: The expression that represents the perimeter of the rectangle in centimeters is 26t+1226t + 12.
