Question

The width of a rectangle is 12 units. Can the perimeter P of the rectangle be 60 units when its length x is 18 units?

Answer 1

No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 18 because x + y is less than 60

No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 18 because x + y is less than 24

Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 12 + 2y

Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 24 + 2y

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, because P = 2x + 2(12)
