Question 1108344: The length of a rectangular table cloth is 2 ft more than the width. If the table cloth is w feet wide, express the perimeter as a function of the width.

Perimeter of a rectangle
= 2(width) + 2(length)
w = width
w + 2 = length
P(w) = 2w + 2(w + 2) {substituted width and length into perimeter}
= 2w + 2w + 4 {used distributive property}
= 4w + 4 {combined like terms}
