The side of the square is a cm. Write down as an expression the perimeter of the rectangle, the length of which is 12 cm longer than the square and the width is 6 cm less than the side of the square.

Let’s write an expression for calculating the length of a rectangle, which is greater than the side of the square:

a + 12 cm.

The width of the rectangle is less than the side of the square and is equal to:

a – 6 cm.

Expression for the perimeter of a rectangle:

2 * (a + 12 + a – 6) = 2 * (2a + 6) = 4 (a + 3) cm.

Answer: 4 (a + 3) cm.
