Stanley drew a rectangle that was w inches wide. The expression 2(2w)+2(w) represents the perimeter of the rectangle Stanley drew.Which statement relates the perimeter to the width of the rectangle?
Accepted Solution
A:
the complete question in the attached figure
we know that [the perimeter of a rectangle]=2*[length+width] the perimeter=2(2w)+2(w)----> 2*[2w+w]------> 4w+2w----> 6w P=6w-------> the perimeter is 6 times the width so in this problem length=2w width=w
statements A) The perimeter is 6 inches more than the width------> is not correct Because we were not given specific lengths
B) The perimeter is 6 times the width.------> is correct P=6*w
C) The perimeter is 2 inches more than the width.------> is not correct Because we were not given specific lengths
D) The perimeter is 2 times the width------> is not correct because the perimeter is 6 times the width
the answer is the option B) The perimeter is 6 times the width
