find an equation which gives the relationship between the length and the width

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, lets call the length L and the width W. you would have L = 2W

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p=2L+2W

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, now substitute in 2W for the L in the equation you just wrote down
