Question

The length of a rectangle is 1 less than twice the width. Which equation could represent the area of the rectangle in terms ofthe width?A-w(2w-1)O A w(2w)-1O A-w(2w+1)A-2w(w-1)

Answer 1

The Solution:

Let the width of the rectangle be W and the length be L.

So,

$L=2W-1$

We are asked to find an equation for the area of the rectangle.

By formula, the area of a rectangle is:

$\begin{gathered} Area=L\times W \\ So, \\ Area=(2W-1)W \\ \\ A=W(2W-1) \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the correct answer is
