Question

This rectangle has side lengths r and s.

For each expression, say whether it gives the perimeter of the rectangle, the area of the
rectangle, or neither.
1. rts
2. r.s
3. 2r + 2s
4.72 +82

Answer 1

1.) Neither

2.) Area

3.) Perimeter

4.) Neither

Explanation:

Given that the lengths of the rectangle are r and s

The perimeter of the rectangle will be:

Perimeter = 2r + 2s

Perimeter = 2(r+s)

While the area will be:

Area = r × s

Area = rs

For each expression, say whether it gives the perimeter of the rectangle, the area of the

rectangle, or neither.

1. rts = neither

2. r.s = Area of rectangle

3. 2r + 2s = Perimeter of rectangle

4.72 +82 = neither.
