Answer:
[tex]C.\ Perimeter = 48 * 18[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for her sketch
Required
Which equation do not represent the perimeter
From the attached sketch:
[tex]L =18in[/tex] --- Length
[tex]W =48in[/tex] --- Width
Perimeter (P) is calculated as:
[tex]P = 2 * (L + W)[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]P = 2 * (18 + 48)[/tex] ---- This represents (A)
Open bracket
[tex]P = 2 * 18 + 2*48[/tex] ---- This represents (B)
In algebra:
[tex]2 * a[/tex] means [tex]a+ a[/tex]
So, the expression becomes
[tex]P = 18 + 18 +48 + 48[/tex] --- This represents (D)
This implies that (C) does not represent the perimeter
