Lw + 2= A / 6 = 8.
To Start Off:
Level: Middle School
Subject: Mathematics
Lesson: Area Problems
To Set The Problem Up:
You set the problem up as A or 48 = L + 2 x L
To Find The Answer:
What are 2 factors that equal 48 that are Reasonable for this problem?
Maybe 6 and 8?
6 must be the length because the width is larger by +2.
To Solve/Work:
So L= 6 and L + 2 = W, 6 + 2= 8.
This means that Length equals 6 and Width equals 8.
Our 2 factors were correct!
Next, to find the area, we must multiply 6 and 8 to get A.
The Formula: L x W = A
So 6 x 8 = 48.
To Sum It Up:
Our final answer is 48 and it takes finding factors of the total, the area.
Most problems only give out 2/3 parts of our Formula. They want to trick you.
To put on the bow, we learned how to use the formula, which is L x W = A or A = L x W.
