The sides of a square all have a side length of y. Write a simplified area function in terms of y for a rectangle whose length is twice the side length of the square and whose width is 2 units longer than the side length of the square.

Question

Part A: Express both the length and the width of the rectangle as a function of a side of the square.

Length: L(s)=2y
Width: W(s)=y+2

Length: L(s)=2+y
Width: W(s)=2y

Length: L(s)=y2
Width: W(s)=2y

Length: L(s)=y2
Width: W(s)=y+2

Answer 1

Length: L(s) = 2y
Width: W(s) = y + 2

Explanation: The length of the rectangle is twice the side length of the square, which is 2y. The width of the rectangle is 2 units longer than the side length of the square, which is y + 2.
