C. Length 12 1/2
Width = 2 in.
D. Length 12 1/2
Width 12 1/2 inches

Then figure out the perimeter of the rectangle you selected

Answer 1

The answer for your question is A. The reason why it's a is because the are for the rectangle is 25. So your answer has to be 25. So for A the length is 5 1/2 so divide 1/2 you will get 0.5 then multiply 0.5 to 5 that will give you 25. The for Width it's the same thing so you divide 25 into 5 you will get 5 and multiply 5 times that will give you 25.

Hope this helps:)
