find the dimensions of a rectangle with area 24 meters what is its perimeter find the other rectangle with the same area but different dimensions are their peri class=

Respuesta :

The dimensions of the rectangle are given by the area equation

[tex]\text{Area}=l\cdot w[/tex]

The area is 24, then the dimensions will be the factors of 24. There are many possibilities for the answer, in this case, let's take the dimensions as 4 and 6 meters

Its perimeter will be

[tex]6+6+4+4=20[/tex]

Other rectangles with the same area have different dimensions

12 and 2

Its perimeter will be

[tex]12+12+2+2=28[/tex]

8 and 3

Its perimeter will be

[tex]8+8+3+3=22[/tex]

24 and 1

Its perimeter will be

[tex]24+24+1+1=50[/tex]

All these rectangles have the same area but different perimeters
