Question

The length of a rectangle is x feet. Its width is (x-7) feet. Draw and label a rectangle to represent this situation. Then write three different expressions you could use to find its perimeter.

Answer 1

Answer:

Perimeter of rectangle:

$(4x - 14)\text{ feet}$            

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Length of rectangle:

$x\text{ feet}$

Width of rectangle:

$(x-7)\text{ feet}$

Perimeter of rectangle:

$2\times \text{(Length + Width)}$

Expressions to calculate perimeter

$1. ~2((x) + (x - 7))\text{ feet}\\2.~2(2x-7)\text{ feet}\\3.~ 4x-14\text{ feet}$
