\the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of twice its length and twice its width. it can be represented by the expression 2l + 2w. what is the perimeter, in inches, of a rectangle with a length of 8.5 inches and a width of 5.75 inches?
a 14.25 inches
b 18.25 inches
c 22.75 inches
d 28.5 inches

D. 28.5 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: P = 2l + 2w, l = length & w = width.

To solve this problem, just substitute the given value for l & w and simplify.

P = 2l + 2w; l = 8.5 & w = 5.75

P = 2(8.5) + 2(5.75)

P = 17 + 11.5

P = 28.5 in
