Question

A flowerbed has an area of 12 square meters. What is the largest possible perimeter of the flowerbed?

Answer 1

5 feet long and 1 foot wide, and vise versa.

Explanation:

First of all, we can make pairs.

Then just look at what I do

(6, 0) <= This can't be possible

(5, 1) <= This is the largest

(4, 2) <= This isn't the largest

(3, 3) <= This isn't the largest

(2, 4) <= This isn't the largest

(1, 5) <= This is the largest

(0, 6) <= This can't be possible

The ones labled "This is the largest" are the correct ones
