Question

1. write an expression in simplest form that represents the perimeter of the polygon in centimeters.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the perimeter of a parallelogram

The perimeter \(P\) of a parallelogram is \(P = 2(a + b)\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are the lengths of the adjacent sides. Here, \(a=9x\) and \(b = 8\).

Step2: Substitute the values into the formula
