Question

The length of a rectangle is 24 units. Can the perimeter x of the rectangle be 60 units when its width y is 11 units? A. No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 11 because x = 48 + 2y b. No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 11 because x = 24 + 2y c. Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 11 because x + y is greater than 48 d. Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 11 because x + y is greater than 24

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

The formula for the Perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2W + 2L.

Let's equate this to 60 units and substitute 11 for W and 24 units for L:

2(11 units) + 2(24 units) = 22 units + 48 units = 70 units. NO (Answer A)
