Question

The length of a rectangle is 3/2 units greater than it's width. if the width is w, which expression gives the perimeter of the rectangle in terms of its width?


4w+3


7/2w-3


5w


6w+4

Answer 1

Answer: P = 5w

Variables:

• Length = $\frac{3}{2}w$
• Width = w

Perimeter:

• $P = 2w + 2l$

• $P = 2w + 2(\frac{3}{2}w)$
• $P = 2w + 3w$
• $P = 5w$
