1. The perimeter of a rectangle is 36 inches (remember: perimeter is the sum of all the side
lengths). Its length is two times its width.
a) Write an expression for the length of the rectangle, in terms of its width using W to
represent the width.
b) Using the expression from part a, write an equation that shows the sum of the sides,
totaling the perimeter.
c) Solve the equation, find the dimensions (the length and the width).
