Question

How many rectangles can be drawn with 16 cm as perimeter? Also, find the          dimensions of the rectangle whose area will be maximum.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Three Rectangles are Possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Several possibilities - I’ll assume the dimensions are in inches:

Rectangle could be 1″ x 7″, so area will be 7 square inches.

Rectangle could be 2″ x 6″, so area will be 12 square inches

Rectangle could be 3″ x 5″, so area will be 15 square inches.

Rectangle could be 4″ x 4″, so area will be 16 square inches.

And that’s just with WHOLE NUMBER dimensions.
