A rectangle has one side that measures 3x + 1 and another that measures 4y + 3. Keith says that the perimeter of the rectangle is 3x + 4y + 4. What is Keith's mistake and what is the correct perimeter of the rectangle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

he added the dimensions of the rectangle. He used the wrong formula. the formula he used was length + breadth. He should have multiplied by 2

6x + 8y +8

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (L + B)

L = length

b = breadth

2 (3x + 4y + 4. ) = 6x + 8y +8
