the length of a sandbox is three feet longer than it’s width. Write the expression that would represent the area of the sandbox.

Part A : D.)

Part B : Length of the sandbox is 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Perimeter = 29 ft

We need to find the equation for the perimeter and also the length of the sandbox.

Solution,

Let the width of the sandbox be 'w'.

Now as per question said;

The length of the sandbox is 1 foot longer than twice the width of the sandbox.

So we can say that;

Length =

Now we know that the perimeter is equal to the sum of twice of length and width.

framing in equation form, we get;

Perimeter =

we have given the perimeter, so on substituting the value, we get;

Hence The equation used to find the width is  .

Now we solve for 'w'.

Applying distributive property, we get;

Subtracting both side by '2' we get

Dividing both side by 6 we get;

Width of the sandbox = 4.5 ft

Length of the sandbox =

Hence Length of the sandbox is 10 feet.
