Question

The width of a rectangle is 17 yards. Let W be width, L be length, and P be perimeter. A. Sketch three possible rectangles with a width of 17 yards. B. Which of the symbols W, L and P are variables? ExplainC. Which if the symbols W, L, and P are constants? Explain This is my answer, I was kind of confused about how to write the rectangles, is this correct? Were you just supposed to make a random rectangle and with a width of 17

Answer 1

Given that the width of the rectangle is 17.

Where W is the width, L is the length, and P is the perimeter of the rectangle.

A) Possible sketches of the rectangle with a width of 17 yards.

rectangle 1

rectangle 2:

rectangle 3:

B) The length and the perimeter are variables. This is because their values are not explicitly specified. Thus, their values may vary.

L and P are variables.

C) The width is a constant. This is because its value is given.

W is a constant.
