Question

The length of a rectangle is 24 units. Can the perimeter x of the rectangle be 60 units when its width y is 11 units? (4 points)

No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 11 because x = 48 + 2y.
No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 11 because x = 24 + 2y.
Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 11 because x + y is greater than 48.
Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 11 because x + y is greater than 24.

Answer 1

When the perimeter is 60 and the length is 24, then the width has to be 6, not 11.
You can figure out which of the first two statements apply.
