Question

How many rectangles can you make with a perimeter of 12 sq. cm.? Find the area of each.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

there are no rectangles with a perimeter of 12 sq CM. because perimeter are not measured in sq units. if the perimeter were 12 CM. the answer will be an infinite no.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

12 can be expresses as 1 x 12, 2 x 6, 3 x 4.

Hence we can have three rectangles of dimensions 1 by 12, 2 by 6 and 3 by 4 that can be formed using a unit square.

If it is not a repetition we also can have 12 by 1, 6 by 2 and 4 by 3 rectangles also using a unit square, making it 6 types in all.
