Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 12 inches. If the rectangle has a width that is 2 inches less than its length, what is its area in square inches?

Answer 1

The area is 8

Explanation:

If the perimeter is 12, we can just start guessing and checking. in this case, if 4 is the length, that means 2 is its width, since 4-2=2. then you find the area(basexhight) 4x2=8!
