Question

Andy says that all rectangles with an area of 24cm2 have the same perimeter Show that Andy is wrong.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle is length x breadth. In this case, area is 24 cm2.

Means, possible length and breadth

1. 12 x 2

2. 6 x 4

3. 3 x 8

4. 24 x 1

Perimeter of rectangle is 2 (L+B)

1. 2(12+2) = 2 x 14 = 28

2. 2(6+4) = 2 x 10 = 20

3. 2(3+8) = 2 x 11 = 22

4. 2(24+1)=2 x 25 = 50

So, Rectangles of area 24 cm2 will have different perimeters.. So, Andy is wrong and my answer is correct :).
