Question

The perimeter of a small rectangular lid is 22 centimeters. The length is 6 centimeters Which equation correctly relates the given information and the width, w?

Answer 1

P = (2l ) + (2w)

Explanation:

P = (2l ) + (2w)

P = (6l +6l) +( 2w+2w)

We use the perimeter here and bring the 2w unknown value.

P= 12l +2w = 22

P= 22-12=10/2w

W=5

Where 2l and 2w both equally work when given either values, they are both divisor input. However P requires a measurement value = 22 as given. (22cm)

Answer 2

w + 6 + w + 6
