which expression shows the perimeter of a rug that is 5 yards in length and 3 yards in width? A.2(5x3) B.2(5+3) C , 2(5-3) D.2(5/3)

Respuesta :

For this case we have that the rug is rectangular.

By definition, the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:[tex]P = 2a + 2b = 2 (a + b)[/tex]

Where:

a, b: Represent the sides of the rectangle

Substituting according to the data we have:

[tex]P = 2 (5 + 3)[/tex]

Thus, the correct expression is option B.

Answer:

Option B
