The width of a rectangle is 12 units. Can the perimeter x of the rectangle can be 60 units when its length y is 18 units?

here are the answer choices.

No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 18 because x + y is less than 60
No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 18 because x + y is less than 24
Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 12 + 2y
Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 24 + 2y

Answer:

Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 24 + 2y

Explanation:

The width of a rectangle is 12 units.

Length=y

Perimeter=x

Perimeter of rectangle= 2×width+2×Length

= 2×12+2y

Hence, x=24+2y

Also, when y=18

x=60 units

Hence, the correct option is:

Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 24 + 2y
