Rectangle R has

neer2890 · Answer

Area of rectangle = Lenth*Width
and perimeter = sum of all the sides

anonymous · Answer

Is that the answer to what values of L and W will the perimeter of R be the least?

anonymous · Answer

make a square

neer2890 · Answer

Because the area is 4
so factor 4 into two pieces such that their multiplication is 4.
1:(2,2)
2:(4,1)

neer2890 · Answer

so for (2,2), it's perimeter is least.
perimeter= 2+2+2+2=8 feet

anonymous · Answer

So the values if L and W are 2.2 and 4 , 1 which gives us the least perimeter of R?
