Question 64931: Find the perimeter of the figure below. Simplify your answer completely.
I don't know how to cut and paste the figure, but here are the measurements.
L=x/2x-5 and w=8/2x-5. I thought that p=2L x 2W, but I am not sure at this point. I am getting a little confused. I hope that someone can help me???

Find the perimeter of the figure below. Simplify your answer completely.
I don't know how to cut and paste the figure,
ASSUMING IT TO BE A RECTANGLE
but here are the measurements.
L=x/2x-5 and w=8/2x-5. I thought that p=2L x 2W,
NO
PERIMETER = P = 2L+2W = [2X/(2X-5)]+[16/(2X-5)] = (2X+16)/(2X-5)=2(X+8)/(2X-5)
but I am not sure at this point. I am getting a little confused. I hope that someone can help me???
