Extension Question:

Create a rectangle with dimensions of your choosing with the given parameters: the length is equal to 3 times the width. (1 point)

Length of 6 units and the width is 2 units

Find the area and perimeter of the rectangle. (2 points)

Area is 3w^2

Perimeter is 8w

1 answer

Area: To find the area of the rectangle, we use the formula A = length x width. Given that the length is 6 units and the width is 2 units:

A = 6 x 2 = 12 square units

The area of the rectangle is 12 square units.

Perimeter: The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula P = 2(length + width). Given that the length is 6 units and the width is 2 units:

P = 2(6 + 2) = 2(8) = 16 units

The perimeter of the rectangle is 16 units.
