PLEASE HELPPP!!!!!!!!!!

A table has an area of 12 and a perimeter of 16 ft. What are the dimensions of the table?
A) 2 ft by 6 ft
B) 2 ft by 8 ft
C) 4 ft by 3 ft
D) 4 ft by 4 ft

Answer 1

the answer is A

Explanation:

if you are really stuck just go through each possible answer to see if its right

here is some help for solving:

area is equal to length times width or A = L x W

perimeter is equal to length plus width plus length plus width or L+W+L+W

perimeter is just adding up all the sides of the square or rectangle

so if you try with answer a you get:

2 x 6 = 12 and 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 16

the answer is A
