The length of a rectangular parking lot is 4 times its width w. The perimeter of the parking lot is 450 feet. Write an equation for the perimeter.
Thanks. (:
450feet=4wx2
Okay, so your basic equation for perimeter is P= 2l + 2w
So if your l=4w, then you're just going to substitute your values-> P=2(4w)+ 2w
Hope this helps XD
arya has the right answer.
To write an equation for the perimeter, we need to define the relationship between the length, width, and perimeter of the parking lot.
Given that the length of the parking lot is 4 times its width, we can represent the length as 4w, where w represents the width.
The perimeter of a rectangular shape can be calculated by adding the lengths of all four sides. In this case, the perimeter is given as 450 feet.
So the equation for the perimeter would be:
Perimeter = Length + Width + Length + Width
Perimeter = 4w + w + 4w + w
Simplifying the equation:
Perimeter = (4w + w) + (4w + w)
Perimeter = 8w + 8w
Perimeter = 16w
Therefore, the equation for the perimeter of the parking lot is:
Perimeter = 16w.
