The length of a rectangle is three more than twice the width. If the width is five what is the perimeter?

L = 3(5) + 3 = 18

W = 5

P = 2L + 2W

P = ?

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we add up all four sides.

Let's start by finding the length of the rectangle. We know that the length is three more than twice the width.

Let's express this in an equation:
Length = 2 * Width + 3

Now, we substitute the given width value into the equation. The width is 5:
Length = 2 * 5 + 3

Simplifying, we have:
Length = 10 + 3
Length = 13

Now that we know both the length and width, we can calculate the perimeter. The formula for perimeter is:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)

Substituting the values we found:
Perimeter = 2 * (13 + 5)

Evaluating further:
Perimeter = 2 * 18
Perimeter = 36

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 36 units.
