Hey this Is Brendyn Mahon again and this time It was easy I think 6 times 4 =is the 24
its not letting put an answer
8+8+4+4 for rectangle with perimeter of24
a perimeter of 24 has sides of 8+8+4+4 with an area of 32
36 a 6 in square
the greatest area of a rectangle with 24 units is 20 units.
P=24 units
l=4
w=6
so 6 x 4= 24
8+8+4+4
Answer from Zain johar
P= 5+7+5+7=24
w=7
L=5
A= 7×5=35 units
I got the answer 36 units.
24
6 by 6 works because a square can be a rectangle but a rectangle isn’t a square
6 by 6 because 6+6+6+6=24 and 6×6=36
8+8+4+4=26
8+8+4+4= 24 for the perimeter then the greastet area is 32 square units.
9+9+4+2
6×6 = 36
8+8+4+4=24
36 6+6+6+6=24 6X6= 36!!
The answer is 36.
perimeter is 10 + 2 + 10 + 2 =24 sq inches
Area is 10 x 2 = 20 sq inches
6×4=24, i also have it on the whiteboard to prove it.
8+8+4+4=24
