Perimeter = 2(2x) + 2x
I assume you want to compare it to the AREA of the parking lot.
Area = 2x^2
I assume you want to compare it to the AREA of the parking lot.
Area = 2x^2
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given by P = 2(length + width).
The formula for the area of a rectangle is given by A = length * width.
Given that the length of the parking lot is 2x and the width is x, we can substitute these values into the formulas.
Perimeter (P) = 2(2x + x)
= 2(3x)
= 6x
Area (A) = (2x)(x)
= 2x²
Now, we can find the ratio of the perimeter to the area by dividing the perimeter (P) by the area (A).
Ratio = P / A
= (6x) / (2x²)
= 6x / 2x²
Simplifying further, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 2x to simplify the expression.
Ratio = 6x / 2x²
= 3 / x
Therefore, the ratio of the perimeter of the parking lot to the parking lot's area, in terms of x, is 3 / x.
