Question

The length of a rectangular table is two times its width. If the perimeter of

the table is 2,000 ft, set up an equation to find the width (w) of the table.

1. 2000 = 2(2W + W)
2. 1000 = 2(3W+ W)
3. 2000 = 2(2wx W)
4. 2000 = 2(3wx w)

Answer 1

1. 2000 = 2(2W + W)

Explanation:

perimeter = 2(L + W)

L = 2W, so:

perimeter = 2(2W + W)
