Sammy drew a rectangle that was w inches wide. The expression 2(2w) + 2(w) represents the perimeter of the rectangle that Sammy drew. Which statement relates the perimeter to the width of the rectangle? A) The perimeter is 6 inches more than the width. B) The perimeter is 6 times the width. C) The perimeter is 2 inches more than the width. D) The perimeter is 2 times the width.
we know that perimiter is p=2legnth+2width the equation they gave us is p=2(2w)+2w so we know that 2(2w)=2legnth so 2w=legnth so p=2(2w)+2w p=4w+2w p=6w
A. we were not given specific legnths so this is false B.the perimiter is 6 times the legnth p=6w so this is the answer C. we were not given specific legnths so this is false D. this is false because perimeter is 6 times the width
