Q:

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 9 - 2y and width of 7?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The perimeter of the rectangle is 32 - 4yStep-by-step explanation:To find the perimeter, we will simply follow the steps below;First write down the formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangleThe formula for finding perimeter in a rectangle is;perimeter = 2l +2wwhere l= length  of the rectangle  and   w is equal to width of the rectangle From the question given, length =9 - 2y      and width =7We can now proceed to insert the values into the formula;perimeter = 2l +2w                  =2(9-2y) + 2(7)Then we will now simplifyperimeter  =2(9-2y) + 2(7)                  =18 - 4y + 14                 = 18 + 14 - 4y                  =32 - 4yTherefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 32 - 4y
