Q. The width of a rectangle measures (3t+1) centimeters, and its length measures (10t+5) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the rectangle?26t+128t+3015+4t13t+6
Perimeter Formula: The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding together twice the width and twice the length. The formula for the perimeter P of a rectangle is P=2×width+2×length.
Substitute Values: Given the width w is 3t+1 centimeters and the length l is 10t+5 centimeters, we can substitute these values into the perimeter formula: P=2×(3t+1)+2×(10t+5).
Distribute 2: Now we distribute the 2 into each term inside the parentheses: P=2×3t+2×1+2×10t+2×5.
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication: P=6t+2+20t+10.
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms: P=(6t+20t)+(2+10).
Add Like Terms: Add the like terms: P=26t+12.
Final Expression: The expression that represents the perimeter of the rectangle in centimeters is 26t+12.
