Q. The width of a rectangle measures (6f+g) (6 f+g) centimeters, and its length measures (2f+7g) (2 f+7 g) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the rectangle?\newline16f+16 16 f+16 \newline8+8f 8+8 f \newline16g+16f 16 g+16 f \newline1+14g+16f 1+14 g+16 f
  1. Perimeter Formula: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we need to add up the lengths of all four sides. The formula for the perimeter PP of a rectangle is P=2×(length+width)P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width}).
  2. Substitute Given Values: The given width of the rectangle is (6f+g)(6f+g) cm and the length is (2f+7g)(2f+7g) cm. We substitute these expressions into the perimeter formula: P=2×((6f+g)+(2f+7g))P = 2 \times ((6f+g) + (2f+7g)).
  3. Simplify Expression: Now we simplify the expression inside the parentheses: 6f+g6f+g + 2f+7g2f+7g = 6f+2f+g+7g6f + 2f + g + 7g = 8f+8g8f + 8g.
  4. Multiply by 22: Next, we multiply the simplified expression by 22 to find the perimeter: P=2×(8f+8g)=2×8f+2×8g=16f+16gP = 2 \times (8f + 8g) = 2 \times 8f + 2 \times 8g = 16f + 16g.
  5. Check Answer Choices: We check the answer choices to see which one matches our expression for the perimeter. The correct expression that represents the perimeter is 16f+16g16f + 16g.
