Question

Let w = width and 4 + w = length. Which equation represents the situation?

Answer 1

Explanation:

✔ w(4 +w) = 60

Answer 2

Depends on whether you're looking for area or perimeter. Follow the equations below

Explanation:

This depends on whether you're being asked to find perimeter of area

Perimeter is equal to 2(length) + 2(width)

In which case perimeter would be 2(4 + w) + 2(w)

Which can be simplified to 8 + 2w + 2w = 4w + 8

However, Area is equal to length times width

Which would be (4 + w) * w = 4w + w^2
