Answer

The perimeter of the rectangle is $4x+400$.

Work Step by Step

We are given that the length of the rectangle is $x+200$ and the width is x. And the formula for the perimeter of the rectangle is as follows: $P=2\left( l+b \right)$. Substituting the values of length and width of the given rectangle, we get: $\begin{align} & P=2\left( x+200+x \right) \\ & =2\left( 2x+200 \right) \\ & =4x+400 \end{align}$. Thus, the algebraic expression to model the perimeter of the rectangle is $4x+400$.
