Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 16 inches. The equation that represents the perimeter of the rectangle is 2l + 2w = 16, where l represents the length of the rectangle and w represents the width of the rectangle. Which value is possible for the length of the rectangle?

7 in.
8 in.
9 in.
10 in. PLZ HELP

Answer 1

7 in. , because 8, 9, or ten would be too long. If you substitute 1 for w and 7 for l, it is correct... 2(7)+ 2(1)= 16
