Question

The length of a rectangle is 24 units. Can the perimeter x of the rectangle be 60 units when its width y is 11 units?

a.   No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 11 because x = 48 + 2y

 b. No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 11 because x = 24 + 2y
 
c. Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 11 because x + y is greater than 48
 
d. Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 11 because x + y is greater than 24

Answer 1

No the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 11 because x = 48 + 2y

Answer 2

A is the correct answer because if you take the 2 lengths 24+24=48 and then add 22 for the 2 widths than you would get 70.
