the width of a rectangle is w cm . if its length is 5cm longer than its width. Writedown an expression for the perimiter of the rectangle

1 answer

The length of the rectangle is 5 cm longer than the width, so the length can be expressed as w + 5 cm.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the equation P = 2(length + width).

Substituting the given values, we have:

P = 2(w + (w + 5))

Simplifying the expression further:

P = 2(2w + 5)

P = 4w + 10

Therefore, the expression for the perimeter of the rectangle is 4w + 10.
