Question

The perimeter of a rectangle can be found using the equation P=2L + 2W , where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width of the rectangle. Can the perimeter of the rectangle be 60 units when its 11 units and its length is 24 units?

Answer 1

Explanation:

From the question

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

L = 24 units

W = 11 units

Substitute the values into the above formula

That's

P = 2(24) + 2(11)

P = 48 + 22

P = 70 units

Therefore the perimeter of the rectangle cannot be 60 units since the values when substituted into the above formula will give us 70 units

Hope this helps you
