Question

Every morning, Jane runs around a rectangular garden with a length of l and a width of w. If she completes four laps around the garden, which expression best approximates the total distance she ran?

A. 4(l + w)

B. 8(l + w)

C. 4(l)(w)

D. 8(l)(w)

Answer 1

Answer:

might be a, dont take my word for it though

Step-by-step explanation:

4(length+width) since for example lenght is 4 and width is 2 you'd add those together and multiply by the number of laps you did (4 in this case)

Answer 2

Answer:

B. 8(l + w)

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is calculated using the formula;

$P=2(l+w)$

If Jane runs around a rectangular garden with a length of l and a width of w, and she completes four laps around the garden, Then, the total distance she ran is:

$P=4\times 2(l+w)$

We simplify to get:

$P=8(l+w)$
