Answer:
Table #1:
Length (L) | Width (W) | Area (56)
Table #2:
Length (2L) | Width (2W) | Perimeter (36)
Equation #1: L · W = 56
Equation #2: 2L + 2W = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The following are the formulas used to find the area and the perimeter of a rectangle:
Area = L · W
Perimeter = L + L + W + W
If you group common variables, you can simplify the formula used to find the perimeter down to:
Perimeter = L + L + W + W
Perimeter = 2L + 2W (Since you're adding 2 of each)
Using these formulas, we can insert our values into them. We know that the rectangle has an area of 56 square inches meaning:
L · W = 56
We know that the rectangle has a perimeter of 36 inches meaning:
2L + 2W = 36
