Working with Formulas

Question 1 • TX-College Prep Math A

Evaluate the formula for the perimeter of a parallelogram to solve the problem. Then check all that apply.

Answer
A
First, write the formula for the perimeter of a parallelogram, P = 2l + 2w.
B
Next, use parentheses when you substitute 8 for l and 6 for w.
C
After multiplying, add 16 and 12.
D
Sulio needs 28 feet of fencing.
E
Sulio needs 48 feet of fencing.

Explanation

The perimeter formula for a parallelogram is P = 2l + 2w, so A is correct. Substituting l = 8 and w = 6 gives P = 2(8) + 2(6); multiplying gives 16 + 12, and adding gives 28 feet. Thus B, C, and D are also correct. Sulio needs 28 feet of fencing, not 48 feet.
