Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2L + 2W. L is length and W is width. So, you want to set 2L + 2W = 48. I would find all of the pairs of lengths and widths that make this true. Maybe use a table to stay organized. I'll give you a couple to get started:

L = 1 and W = 23. L = 2 and W = 22. Keep increasing the length and solve for the width.

Once you've found all of the pairs, the formula for area of a rectangle is L*W. So multiply the length and width pairs together. For 1 and 23, 1*23 = 23 square meters. For 2 and 22, 2*22 = 44 square meters, etc. I think you'll find at least 10 different areas for the answer to this problem
