POSSIBLE POINTS: 10

length of a rectangle is 6 feet longer than the width. If the width of the rectangle is w feet long, which of the following expressions represents the
meter of the rectangle?

Answer 1

4w + 12

Explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

Let

Width of the rectangle = w feet

Length of the rectangle = (w + 6) feet

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

= 2{(w+6) + w}

= 2(w + 6 + w)

= 2(2w + 6)

= 4w + 12

Perimeter of a rectangle = (4w + 12) feet
