Q. The width of a rectangle measures (6.9p8.9q) (6.9 p-8.9 q) centimeters, and its length measures (7.7p3.3q) (7.7 p-3.3 q) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the rectangle?\newline14.6p12.2 14.6 p-12.2 \newline29.2p24.4 29.2 p-24.4 \newline29.2p6.6q8.9 29.2 p-6.6 q-8.9 \newline29.2p24.4q 29.2 p-24.4 q
  1. Perimeter Formula: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we need to add up all the sides. The formula for the perimeter PP of a rectangle is P=2×(length+width)P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width}).
  2. Expressions for Length and Width: First, let's write down the expressions for the length and the width of the rectangle:\newlineLength L=(7.7p3.3q)L = (7.7 p - 3.3 q) cm\newlineWidth W=(6.9p8.9q)W = (6.9 p - 8.9 q) cm
  3. Add Length and Width: Now, we will add the length and the width expressions:\newlineL+W=(7.7p3.3q)+(6.9p8.9q)L + W = (7.7 p - 3.3 q) + (6.9 p - 8.9 q)
  4. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms in the expression:\newlineL+W=(7.7p+6.9p)(3.3q+8.9q)L + W = (7.7 p + 6.9 p) - (3.3 q + 8.9 q)\newlineL+W=14.6p12.2qL + W = 14.6 p - 12.2 q
  5. Use Perimeter Formula: Now, we will use the perimeter formula and multiply the sum of length and width by 22:\newlineP=2×(L+W)P = 2 \times (L + W)\newlineP=2×(14.6p12.2q)P = 2 \times (14.6 p - 12.2 q)
  6. Multiply by 22: Multiply each term inside the parentheses by 22:\newlineP=2×14.6p2×12.2qP = 2 \times 14.6 p - 2 \times 12.2 q\newlineP=29.2p24.4qP = 29.2 p - 24.4 q
