Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 16 inches. The equation that represents the perimeter of the rectangle is 2 l plus 2 w equals 16, where l represents the length of the rectangle and w represents the width of the rectangle. Which value is possible for the length of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

l represents the length of the rectangle.

w represents the breadth of the rectangle.

Given equation for the perimeter of the rectangle is 2l + 2w = 16.

⇒ 2l + 2w = 16

⇒ 2( l + w ) = 16

⇒ l + w = 16 / 2

⇒ l + w = 8

Length or breadth of any quadrilateral cannot be negative, so breadth should of 1 unit atleast, so length cannot be more than ( 8 - 1 ) that is 7 units.

So value which is possible for length of the rectangle is 7

Answer 2
