Question

The rectangle has an area of 42 sq. in. Which of these could be the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answer 1

The possible dimensions are (21 ,2) , (3,14) , (1,42) , (6,7)

Explanation:

Let the dimensions of the rectangle be X and Y.

`X* Y = 42`

Therefore if we find the factors of 42 we will get the dimensions of the triangle.

factors of rectangle are (21,2) , (3,14) , (1,42) , (6,7).

therefore possible dimensions are (21,2) , (3,14) , (1,42) , (6,7).
