the green team at middle school wants to beautify the school garden ....the green team is bulding a fence around garden . what is the total amount of fence they wiil need to complete project length 6x+16 . w= 3x+8 other side l . l =4x+10 other side . w=2x+1missing to small side to make regtangle
well, if it's a rectangle, the lengths must be equal, so
6x+16 = 4x+10
can't be, since that makes x = -3
Is it two rectangles?
what's with the "missing to small side to make rectangle"?
To find the total amount of fence needed to complete the project, we need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangle formed by the fence.
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
In this case, we have the Length (L) as 4x + 10 and the Width (W) as 3x + 8. We need to find the missing side length, which is the small side expressed as W = 2x + 1.
Substituting the values into the formula:
Perimeter = 2 * ((4x + 10) + (3x + 8) + (2x + 1))
Simplifying the expression:
Perimeter = 2 * (4x + 10 + 3x + 8 + 2x + 1)
Perimeter = 2 * (9x + 19 + 2x + 1)
Perimeter = 2 * (11x + 20)
Perimeter = 22x + 40
Therefore, the total amount of fence they will need to complete the project is 22x + 40.
