Answer 1

Find the dimensions of a 64-square-foot rectangle with the minimum perimeter.

perimeter rectangle =2(length+width)

area rectangle = length*width

possibilities rectangle dimensions for area (with whole numbers)

1+64

2*32

4*16

8*8

calculate perimeter :

2(1+64)= 130m

2(2+32)=68m

2(4+16)=40m

2(8+8)= 32m

the minimum perimeter is that of an 8m square
