Write the equation for the area (A) in terms of width (w) of a playground if the length (l) is twice as long as the width (w). You do not need to solve the equation.

Question

anonymous · Answer

do you know the formula for Area (of a rectangle, i presume)?

anonymous · Answer

No, I don't its been a long time, trying to teach myself all over again to go back to college

anonymous · Answer

l * w= area of a rectangle

anonymous · Answer

in this case l=2w
so A= 2w*w
which equals 2w^2

anonymous · Answer

can you tell me is this looks right and the answer.
A = WL & 2W
A = 2W^2 & W = (A/2)^2 positive values only

anonymous · Answer

are you trying to find A in terms of w? or w in terms of A?

anonymous · Answer

I don't understand what you are trying to tell me.

anonymous · Answer

I'm saying that according to the question you asked the answer should be A=2W^2
