Question

Use the figure to fill in each blank to make a true statement. The simplified expression for the perimeter of the rectangle is ________.

An equation that can be used to find w is _____. The width of the rectangle is _____.
OKAY ON TOP OF THE RECTANGLE IS 2w+3 , ON THE RIGHT IS JUST w , AND AT THE BOTTOM IT IS Perimeter=36 units. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Answer 1

1) 2l+2w
2)36-2l=2w
3)2w+2w+3+2w+3=36
=6w+6=36
=6w=30
=w=5

the width is 2×5+3=13

Answer 2

The simplified expression for the perimeter of the rectangle is 6w+6.

An equation that can be used to find w is 6w+6 = 36.

The width of the rectangle is 5 units

Explanation:

By the given information,

The length of the rectangle = 2w + 3,

Where, Width = w,

We know that,

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × ( length + width )

`=2(2w + 3 + w)`

`=2(3w+3)`

`=6w+6`

According to the question,

Perimeter = 36 units,

`\implies 6w + 6 = 36`

Subtracting 6 on both sides,

`6w = 30`

Divide both sides by 6,

`w=5`

Thus the width of the rectangle is 5 units.
