A square piece of fabric has an area of (9x2 + 24x + 16) square inches. The length of each side of the fabric is (cx + d) in., where c and d are whole numbers. Find an expression for the perimeter of the piece of fabric. Then find the perimeter when x = 2.

A. An expression for the perimeter is (3x + 4) (3x + 4). The perimeter is 100 inches.

B. An expression for the perimeter is 12x + 16. The perimeter is 40 inches.

C. An expression for the perimeter is 12x + 16. The perimeter is 28 inches.

D. An expression for the perimeter is 3x + 4. The perimeter is 10 inches.

    The area is:

    (9x2 + 24x + 16)

    Factoring the area, we can find the length of the sides of the square.

    We have then:

    (3x + 4) ^ 2

    Thus, the length of each side is:

    3x + 4

    Then, the perimeter is given by:

    P = 4 * L

    Where,

    L: square side

    Substituting:

    P = 4 * (3x + 4)

    Rewriting:

    P = 12x + 16

    For x = 2 we have:

    P = 12 (2) + 16

    P = 24 + 16

    P = 40

    Answer:

    B. An expression for the perimeter is 12x + 16. The perimeter is 40 inches.
