“The length of a rectangle is two feet greater than twice it’s width. If the perimeter is 25 feet, find the width.” Which of the following translations is correct

Respuesta :

The width of the rectangle is 3.5 feet

Solving for the missing sides of a rectangle

The width of the rectangle = w

The length of the rectangle = l

The perimeter = p

Length of the rectangle is two feet greater than twice it’s width

l  =  2w + 2

p = 2(l + w)

p = 2(2w + 2 + w)

p = 2(3w + 2)

p = 6w + 4

The perimeter of the rectangle is 25 ft

25  =  6w + 4

This can be rewritten as:

6w + 4 = 25

6w = 25 - 4

6w = 21

w = 21/6

w  = 3.5

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 3.5 feet
