Question

The length of a rectangle is 8 cm longer than its width . Its perimeter is more than 28cm . If W represents the width of the rectangle what expression represents the length in terms of the width

Answer 1

W + 8

Explanation:

Given:

The length of the rectangle is 8 cm longer than its width.

Let's take "W" be the width.

Length = W + 8

The expression "w + 8" represents the length of the rectangle.

Thank you.

Answer 2

L=W+8

Explanation:

This means that whatever number of centimeters the width is, you will always add 8 centimeters in order to reach the size of the length. In order to calculate the perimeter of the rectangle you have to add all its four sides and the final formula would be as follows:

W+W+L+L=P, where W is Width and L, is Length (W+8).

In other words, you can calculate as shown below:

W+W+(W+8)+(w+8)=P
