Question

The length of a rectangle is 3/2 units greater than it's width. if the width is w, which expression gives the perimeter of the rectangle in terms of its width?

4w+3


7/2w-3


5w


6w+4

Answer 1

Answer: P = 5w

Variables:

• Length =
  `(3)/(2)w`
• Width = w

Perimeter:

• 
  `P = 2w + 2l`

• 
  `P = 2w + 2((3)/(2)w)`
• 
  `P = 2w + 3w`
• 
  `P = 5w`
