Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 60 cm. Its width measures

16 cm. What is its length?
Let x = the length of the rectangle. Choose the equation that represents this
problem.
O A. 2x+32 = 60
B. X+ 16 = 60
O C. 2x-32 = 60
D. 2x+ 16 = 60

Answer 1

Option a :- 2x+32 = 60

Explanation:

Formula to calculate perimeter:-- P=2(l+w)

2(l+w) = P

2l + 2w = P

2x + 2(16) = 60

2x + 32 = 60

`\therefore` The equation that represents this problem = 2x+32 = 60
