15. MP Model with Mathematics Tom is drawing rectangles in which the length varies directly with the width. One of his rectangles has a width of 2 centimeters and a length of 3.6 centimeters. Draw and label a rectangle with a width of 3.5 centimeters that could be one of Tom's rectangles. Then find the perimeter, ork. 13.) 14.) 15.)

If the length varies directly with the width, we need to find the constant of proportionality:

w=αl

If

w = 2

l= 3.6

Let's solve for α:

α =2/3.6 = 5/9

Now we know the value of α let's move to the next step:

Using the first equation:

w=αl

If

w = 3.5

Then:

l = 1/α * w

l = 9/5 * 3.5 = 6.3

And the perimeter is:

P = w + w + l + l

So:

P = 3.5 + 3.5 + 6.3 + 6.3 = 19.6cm
