The length of a rectangle is 4x+1 and the width is 2x+5. Write an expression and simplify it in terms of x: whats the perimeter of the rectangle and whats the area of the rectangle

Respuesta :

Answer: ( P - 10 )/12, (2x + 5)(4x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the rectangle = 4x + 1,

The breadth = 2x + 5

Formula for finding perimeter of a rectangle, = 2( L + B )

Now, substitute for L and B in the formula, open the formula and simplify,

= 2(4x + 1 + 2x + 5 )

= 2(6x + 5 )

= 12x + 10

Therefore, the perimeter (p)of the rectangle, = 12x + 10.

If P = 12x + 10

12x = P - 10

x = ( P - 10 )/12

Area of a rectangle = L x B

=( 4x + 1 )( 2x + 5)

We therefore open the brackets

(4x + 1)(2x + 5)= 4x X 2x + 4x X 5+ 1 X 2x + 1 X 5

= 8x² + 20x + 2x + 5

A = 8x² + 22x + 5

A = (2x + 5)(4x + 1)
