Question

The area of this rectangle is 4x2. What does the coefficient 4 mean in terms of the problem?

Answer 1

width is x
length is 4x

answer is B. The length is 4 times the width

Answer 2

Option B. The length is
`4` times the width

Explanation:

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

`A=LW`

where

L is the length

W is the width

In this problem we have

`L=4x\ units` -----> equation A

`W=x\ units` ------> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

`L=4(W)\ units`

therefore

The length is
`4` times the width
