Question

The length of a rectangular sandbox is

Answer 1

Answer:

so the correct statement is;

The equation 2 ( 3 w − 6 ) + 2 w = 36 can be used to find the width of the rectangle, and the width is 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to select the statement which is true

Let the width be w

the length is 6 ft less than 3 times the width

The length will be (3w - 6) ft

Mathematically, the perimeter of a rectangle can be calculated using the formula;

2( l + b) = P

Thus;

2(3w -6 + w) = 36

divide both sides by 2

3w -6 + w = 36/2

3w -6 + w = 18

4w -6 = 18

4w = 18 + 6

4w = 24

w = 24/4

w = 6
