.
a. Write two different expressions giving the perimeter of the donkey’s pen
Two different expressions giving the perimeter of the donkey's pen are:
1) P = 2a + 2b
2) P = a + a + b + b = 2a + 2b
. Choose a value for a that is greater than 5 and less than 15. Evaluate the
perimeter of the pen for that value, using one of the expressions that you
wrote
