Question

write two expressions for the perimeter of the figure.
16x
11
9x
8x
note: the figure is not drawn to scale.
(a) use all four side lengths.
perimeter = ( ) + ( ) + ( ) + ( )
(b) simplify the expression from part (a).
perimeter = ( )

Explanation:

Step1: List all side lengths

$16x + 9x + 8x + 11$

Step2: Combine like terms

$(16x + 9x + 8x) + 11 = 33x + 11$

Answer:

(a) $\boldsymbol{16x + 9x + 8x + 11}$
(b) $\boldsymbol{33x + 11}$
