Question

The Width $W$ of a rectangle is $2$ inches less than half its length $L$. Express the perimeter $P$ of the rectangle in terms of the length $L$

• A. $3L-4$
• B. $4L-4$
• C. $4L$
• D. $3L-2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $3L-4$

As per the given information,
$W=$ $\frac{L}{2}-2$
The Perimeter of the rectangle in terms of $L=$ $2(\frac{L}{2}-2+L)$
$=$ $L-4+2L$
$=$ $3L-4$
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
Ans: Option A
