​Write the expression as a polynomial in standard form.

​ Area =

Solution

To help you with the perimeter and area of a rectangle, I’ll need the dimensions (length and width) of the rectangle. Could you provide those values?

In general, here’s how you can create expressions for the perimeter and area:

Part A: Perimeter

The formula for the perimeter PP of a rectangle is:

P=2(length+width)P = 2(\text{length} + \text{width})

If we denote the length as ll and the width as ww, the expression can be written as:

P=2l+2wP = 2l + 2w

This is already in standard form.

Part B: Area

The formula for the area AA of a rectangle is:

A=length×widthA = \text{length} \times \text{width}

Using ll for length and ww for width, the expression becomes:

A=lwA = lw

This is also in standard form.

Once you provide the dimensions, I can create the specific expressions for you. Would you like to proceed with that?

Follow-up Questions

  1. What are the specific dimensions of the rectangle?
  2. Would you like to explore more about polynomials in general?
  3. Do you need examples of perimeter and area for other shapes?
  4. Are you interested in how these formulas apply in real-world scenarios?
  5. Would you like to learn about how to graph these expressions?

Tip

Always remember to check the units of measurement for consistency when calculating perimeter and area.
