sydney is cutting the crust from the edges of her sandwich. the dimensions, in centimeters, of the sandwich is shown. which expression represents the total perimeter of her sandwich, and if x = 1.2, what is the approximate length of the crust? sandwich 2x² + 9 2x² + 8 8x² + 34; 43.6 centimeters 8x² + 34; 45.52 centimeters 4x² + 17; 21.8 centimeters 4x² + 17; 22.76 centimeters

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula for rectangle

The perimeter $P$ of a rectangle is $P = 2(l + w)$, where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width. Here, $l=2x^{2}+9$ and $w = 2x^{2}+8$.

Step2: Substitute values into formula

$P=2((2x^{2}+9)+(2x^{2}+8))$. First, simplify the expression inside the parentheses: $(2x^{2}+9)+(2x^{2}+8)=4x^{2}+17$. Then $P = 2(4x^{2}+17)=8x^{2}+34$.

Step3: Substitute $x = 1.2$

When $x = 1.2$, we have $8x^{2}+34=8\times(1.2)^{2}+34$. Calculate $(1.2)^{2}=1.44$. Then $8\times1.44 = 11.52$. So $8x^{2}+34=11.52 + 34=45.52$.

Answer:

$8x^{2}+34;45.52$ centimeters
