Determine which formula best describes the perimeter of the rectangle.
Explanation:
The formula for the perimeter of the rectangle can be written in the form:
P = 2 ( l + w)
P = 2l + 2w
Hence it can be represented as,
The perimeter of the rectangle is the sum of twice its width and twice its length.
Based on the given, there is no similar or appropriate answer which is in line with the representation, hence the answer for the question is d. which states the formula of the perimeter of a rectangle.
Final answer:
D. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2l + 2w
