Q:

The length of a rectangle is 5/2 units greater than twice its width. If its width is w, which expression gives the perimeter of the rectangle in terms of w? A. 2(5/2 w) + w B. 5/2 w + w C. 3 w + 10/2 D. 6 w + 5

Accepted Solution

A:
Width = w
Length = 2w + 5/2

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
Perimeter = 2( w + 2w + 5/2)
Perimeter = 2(3w + 5/2)
Perimeter = 6w + 5

-----------------------------------------------------
Answer: The perimeter is 6w + 5 (Answer D)
