Q. The width of a rectangle measures (5.7n+8.8) (5.7 n+8.8) centimeters, and its length measures (6.1n+3.6) (6.1 n+3.6) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the rectangle?\newline9.7+14.5n 9.7+14.5 n \newline19.4+29n 19.4+29 n \newline12.4+11.8n 12.4+11.8 n \newline24.8+23.6n 24.8+23.6 n
  1. Identify Formula: Identify the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle.\newlineThe perimeter PP of a rectangle is given by the formula P=2(length+width)P = 2(\text{length} + \text{width}).
  2. Substitute Expressions: Substitute the given expressions for length and width into the perimeter formula.\newlineP=2((6.1n+3.6)+(5.7n+8.8))P = 2((6.1n + 3.6) + (5.7n + 8.8))
  3. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms inside the parentheses.\newlineP = 22(($\(6\).\(1\)n + \(5\).\(7\)n) + (\(3\).\(6\) + \(8\).\(8\)))
  4. Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses. \(P = 2((11.8n) + (12.4))\)
  5. Distribute \(2\): Distribute the \(2\) across the terms inside the parentheses.\[P = 2 \times 11.8n + 2 \times 12.4\]
  6. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the perimeter expression.\(\newline\)\(P = 23.6n + 24.8\)
