The sides are 4x-4 and 8x+10.
:
There are two ways to express a rectangle. Perimeter or Area. You did not specify
Let W = 4x-4
and
L = 8x + 10
:
Area:
A = L * W
A = (4x - 4) * (3x + 10)
FOIL
A = 12x^2 + 40x - 12x - 40
A = 12x^2 + 28x - 40
:
The perimeter:
P = 2L + 2W
P = 2(8x+10) + 2(4x-4)
Multiply what's inside the brackets
P = 16x + 20 + 8x - 8
P = 24x + 12
