Answer:
2a + 2b
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it’s a rectangle, there are two sides with the length “a,” and two sides with the length “b.”
Let’s say a = 4, and b = 8
2(4) + 2(8)
8 + 16 = 24
We can prove this is correct, by adding 4 + 4 + 8 + 8 together, since you’re looking for the perimeter
I hope this helped 🙂
