amistre64 · Answer

a square is the largest area rectangle so; (64/3)^2 = 455 but that aint one of your options is it....hmmm

amistre64 · Answer

3x = 64

x = 64/3

Area = x*x

(64/3)*(64/3) = 455.   hmmm

the biggest area you can get from 4 sided figures with equal perimeters is a square... so i dont really know what they are asking; unless they want to kno wwhich one of these will fit
