Question:
The two adjacent sides of a rectangle are 5x2 − 3y2 and x2 + 2xy. Find the perimeter.
Solution:
Sides of the rectangle are $l$ and $b$.
$l=5 x^{2}-3 y^{2}$
$b=x^{2}+2 x y$
Perimeter of the rectangle is $(2 l+2 b)$.
Perimeter $=2\left(5 x^{2}-3 y^{2}\right)+2\left(x^{2}+2 x y\right)$
$=10 x^{2}-6 y^{2}+2 x^{2}+4 x y$
Hence, the perimeter of the rectangle is $12 x^{2}-6 y^{2}+4 x y$.
