Answer 1

Medal for help and best answer! ^^

Answer 2

Something wrong do you need the answers??

Answer 3

lol is it multiple choice or

Answer 4

Yea

Answer 5

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 6

Okay, so, the perimeter of a rectangle is the added length of all of the sides
l + l + w + w = p
24 + 24 + 11 + 11 = 60(?)

Answer 7

Right.

Answer 8

So, when it's all added together, does it equal 60?

Answer 9

No, it equal 70.

Answer 10

Okay, so look at the answer options given, there are two for 'no'
which one best explains why the perimeter cannot be 60?

Answer 11

I think a

Answer 12

No xD Okay, so we just discussed that 24 + 24 + 11 + 11 does not equal 60, right?

The choice 'a' implies that all those numbers do, in fact, add to 60. Would 24 + 2(11)=60?

Answer 13

No. Maybe.

Answer 14

No wait, its b.
