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?

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

the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of its sides. you have two sides, each 24 and 2 sides, each 11
24+24+11+11= 48+12 = 60

so the perimeter is 60

Answer 2

but none of the answers make sense.
