Question 307647: I need help in getting an answer to this problem. What formula is used. Perimeter of a rectangle. The width of a rectangular playground is 2x 5 feet, and the length is 3x 9 feet. Write a polynomial P(x) that represents the perimeter and then evaluate this perimeter polynomial if x is 4 feet.

P=2(2X+5)+2(3X+9)
P=4X+20+6X+18
P=10X+38 IS THE EQUATION FOR THE PERIMETER IN TERMS OF X.
IF X=4 THEN:
X(4)=10*4+38
X(4)=40+38
X(4)=78 ANS.
