Exercise 18 Page 81

Use the rectangle perimeter formula with l = 2x^2-3x+1 and w=5x+3.

P=4x^2 + 4x + 8

Practice makes perfect
Recall, to find a rectangle's perimeter, we need to add twice the length and twice the width. In this case, we are given the length, l = 2x^2-3x+1, and the width, w= 5x+3. Let's use those in the formula to find the perimeter.
P = 2 * l + 2 * w
P = 2( 2x^2-3x+1)+ 2( 5x+3)
P = 4x^2 - 6x+2 + 10x+6
P = 4x^2 - 6x + 10x +2+6
P = 4x^2 + 4x + 8
