Question

A rectangle has a length of (4x - 3) and a width of 2. Find a simplified expression for:

a) The area of the rectangle
b) The perimeter of the reactangle



Please answer a and b thank you!

Answer 1

a) The area of the rectangle is given by the product of its length and width. Thus:

Area = (4x - 3) * 2

Area = 8x - 6

b) The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of all four sides. The perimeter of this rectangle can be expressed as:

Perimeter = 2 * (length) + 2 * (width)

Perimeter = 2 * (4x - 3) + 2 * 2

Perimeter = 8x - 6 + 4

Perimeter = 8x
