The perimeter p of the rectangle below is 30 inches. Which formula can be used to find the length and width of the rectangle?A p=w+(w+3)B p=w(w+3)C p=2w+2(w+3)D p=2(w+3)−2w
Q. The perimeter p of the rectangle below is 30 inches. Which formula can be used to find the length and width of the rectangle?A p=w+(w+3)B p=w(w+3)C p=2w+2(w+3)D p=2(w+3)−2w
Identify Formula: Identify the correct formula for the perimeter of a rectangle.The perimeter P of a rectangle is given by P=2(length+width).Here, the width is w and the length is w+3.So, the formula becomes P=2(w+(w+3)).
Match with Options: Match the derived formula with the given options.The derived formula is P=2(w+w+3)=2(2w+3).Simplify to get P=4w+6.Compare with options:A) p=w+(w+3) - Incorrect, doesn't account for all sides.B) p=w(w+3) - Incorrect, represents area, not perimeter.C) p=2w+2(w+3) - Correct, simplifies to 4w+6.D) p=2(w+3)–2w - Incorrect, simplifies to 6.
