Answer:
Perimeter, [tex]P=\dfrac{2}{5}(5x+14)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have, a hand woven rectangular rug measures x ft long and [tex]2\dfrac{4}{5}\ ft[/tex] wide. For a rectangular shaped object, perimeter is equal to the sum of all sides. If l is length and b is width, then
Perimeter, [tex]P=2(l+b)[/tex]
We have, l = x ft and b = [tex]2\dfrac{4}{5}\ ft=\dfrac{14}{5}\ ft[/tex]
So,
[tex]P=2(x+\dfrac{14}{5})[/tex]
or
[tex]P=\dfrac{2}{5}(5x+14)[/tex]
