The perimeter of a rectangular corral that has width x feet and length x +40 feet is 2(x) +2(x+40). Simplify the expression for the perimeter. Find the perimeter if x=30 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is \"highlight%28P=2W%2B2L%29\", where P=perimeter, W=width, and L=length.
\n" ); document.write( "P=2(x)+2(x+40) Distribute the 2
\n" ); document.write( "P=2(x)+2(x)+2(40)
\n" ); document.write( "P=2x+2x+80 Combine like terms.
\n" ); document.write( "P=(2+2)x+80
\n" ); document.write( "P=4x+80
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute 30 in for x and simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "P=4(30)+80
\n" ); document.write( "P=120+80
\n" ); document.write( "P=200 ft (Don't forget your units.)
\n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!!!
