PLEASE HELP ASAP

Suppose you want to build an outdoor rectangular pen enclosed by fencing for a pet. You want the pen to have an area of 64 square feet. Write and post one set of dimensions that could be used for the pen, along with the perimeter of the pen.

Answer 1

One side could be 16 and the other 4. The perimeter would be 40 because 16x2=32 + 4x2=8

Answer 2

area = 4ft x 16ft

perimeter = 40ft

Explanation:

Chose any 2 value that multiplies to 64 because Area of a Rectangle is:

A = LW

I chose 4ft x 16ft = 64ft²

The perimeter is the sum of all the sides, so add up all the sides of the rectangle.

4+4+16+16 = 40ft
