Question

PLEASE HELP!!!! I GIVE MEDALS!!!!

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

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 1

for a rectangle, perimeter = 2*(length+width)
width (x) = 12 inches, if perimeter = 60
60 = 2*(y+12)
60 =2y+24
2y= 60-24
2y =36
y =18inches

Answer 2

So the answer is which yes?

Answer 3

The answer would be D
