Question

The length of a rectangle is one unit shorter than one-sixth of the width x which expression represents the perimeter of the rectangle

Answer 1

Hi,

L = (1/6)x - 1

P = 2x + 2L = 2x + (2/6)x - 2

P= (7/3)x - 2

x being the width.


Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

The expressions represents the perimeter of the rectangle is  $\frac{7}{3}x-2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be x

We are given that The length of a rectangle is one unit shorter than one-sixth of the width x

Length of the rectangle = $\frac{1}{6}x-1$

Perimeter of rectangle = $2(Length +Breadth)$

                                      = $2(\frac{1}{6}x-1+x)$

                                      = $2(\frac{7}{6}x-1)$

                                      = $\frac{7}{3}x-2$

Hence The expressions represents the perimeter of the rectangle is  $\frac{7}{3}x-2$ .
