Algebra.Com's Answer #52107 by jmg(22)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The area formula for a rectangle is Area = length x width \n" ); document.write( "So since the Area = 2xy, and the width is y. That means the length is 2x. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w) or 2l + 2w. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So if width = y and the length = 2x. Then fill in the formula.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(2x + y) or 2(2x) + 2y which equals 4x + 2y\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
