Explanation:

The options in the questions are missing; However, I'll provide a general explanation on how the question can be solved;

Given that the perimeter of the rectangle is 60 inches

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as thus:


Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

Substitute 60 for Perimeter


60 = 2(Length + Width)

Divide both sides by 2


(60)/(2) = (2(Length + Width))/(2)


30 = (Length + Width)


Length + Width= 30

This means that the length and width of the rectangle add up to 30 inches

So, from the list of options with you; lookout for the options that has the dimension of rectangle adding up t o 30.

Take for instance;

Length = 25 inches, Width = 5 inches.

Length = 18 inches, Width = 12 inches

And so on...
