Question

The width of a rectangular dance floor is w feet. The length of the floor is 6 feet longer than its width. Which of the following expresses the perimeter, in feet, of the dance floor in terms of w?

  1. 2w + 6
  2. 4w + 12
  3. w squared plus 6
  4. w squared plus 6 w

hintHint:

he formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is,
P= length + width + length + width = 2 × (length + width)
 

The correct answer is: 4w + 12


    Step 1 of 2:
    Given, the width of a rectangular dance floor is  feet. The length of the floor is  feet longer than its width.
    Hence, length of the floor is (6 + w) feet.
    Step 2 of 2:
    By the formula of the perimeter of a rectangle, P = 2 × (length + width)
    ⇒ P = 2 × (6 + 2w)
    ⇒ P = 4w + 12
    Final Answer:
    The expression of the perimeter, in feet, of the dance floor in terms of w, is— B) 4w + 12.

    The table above shows a summary of 1,200 responses to a survey question. Based on the table, how many of those surveyed get most of their medical information from either a doctor or the Internet?

    In sets of numbers called fractions, the top number (numerator) represents a portion related to the entire unit, and (the denominator) by the bottom number.
    A ratio is similar to a fraction, where two numbers are compared. Although ratios can be written in fractional form, they are typically expressed as numbers separated by the colon symbol.
    The ratio conversion into a fraction in mathematics is known as the ratio to a fraction. The ratio conveys the relative size of two or more values. The fraction similarly identifies the components of the whole. A: B or a/B are two ways to represent the ratio.
