Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is dependent on the length of each of its sides. Suppose the base of a rectangle is two more than its height. Complete an input/output table for at least three pairs of inputs and outputs. Make sure to use values that make sense within the context of this situation.

Answer 1

let
x---------> length of the base of a rectangle
y--------->height of the base of a rectangle

we know that
perimeter of a rectangle=2*[x+y]
and
x=y+2------> y=x-2


step 1
inputs
x=3
x=5
x=10

step 2
find the outputs

for x=3
y=x-2----> y=3-2-----> y=1
perimeter=2*[3+1]-----> 8

for x=5
y=x-2----> y=5-2-----> y=3
perimeter=2*[5+3]-----> 16

for x=10
y=x-2----> y=10-2-----> y=8
perimeter=2*[10+8]----->36

see the attached table
