Perimeter of a rectangle

2L means two sides of length, thus multiply

2W means two sides of width; again multiply

four sides around the rectangle and adding the L and W values gives the perimeter.

Example:

You have a rectangle that is 10 feet long and 6 feet wide. Find perimeter of rectangle that has 4 sides.

Perimeter = 2(10 feet) + 2(6 feet)

P = 20 feet + 12 feet

Perimeter = 32 feet

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P equals 2W plus 2L with perimitor of 100 length 30?

P = 100 l = 30 w = 20


What eqations represents the formula for perimiter of a rectangle p equals 2l plus 2w solve for l?

2L+2W=P (S2w) Subtract 2W from both sides 2L=P-2W (D2) Divide both sides by 2 L=(P-2W)/2


Solve for w 2l plus 2w equals P?

2l + 2w = P Subtract 2l from both sides: 2w = P - 2l Divide both sides by 2: w = P/2 - l

If 4x plus 2l plus 6 equals 3 show that l equals 13-2x?

If you would to solve for (l) then l = 4x/2 + 3/2 (4x + 3 is over 2).To solve for x. x = 2l/4 + 3/4 ( 2l + 3 is over 4)Hope this helps.


Formula for length of a rectangle?

a = L x W: area equals length times the width. p = 2L + 2W: perimeter equals 2 times the length plus 2 times the width so L = (p - 2W)/2
