Question

Celina had a rectangular tablecloth with dimensions x feet and 3 feet. she put lace along 4 feet of the edge of the tablecloth. an expression is shown below: (2x + 6) - 4 part
a.what does the expression represent? part
b.what does 2x + 6 represent? part
c.what does 2x represent?

Answer 1

a.  (2x + 6) - 4  represents how to find the area of the table cloth. (to be honest, I'm not sure why you have to subtract the lace, or what I'm assuming is the lace...)

b.  2x + 6 represents how to find the area of the table cloth.

c. 2x represents the x length getting multiplied by 2, since there are 2 sides.

I hope this helps just a little bit though. I'm sorry I could get part a very well.

Answer 2

A.).   Represents the perimeter of the rectangular table cloth Not Including the edge.

B.).    Represents perimeter of the rectangular table including the edge.

C.).  2x represents the sum of width, the two smaller sides, of the rectangular table cloth, including the edge.

Hope that helps!!!!                    : )
