Question

A flowerbed has an area of 12 square meters. What is the largest possible perimeter of the flowerbed?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 feet long and 1 foot wide, and vise versa.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we can make pairs.

Then just look at what I do

(6, 0)       <= This can't be possible

(5, 1)       <= This is the largest

(4, 2)       <= This isn't the largest

(3, 3)       <= This isn't the largest

(2, 4)       <= This isn't the largest

(1, 5)       <= This is the largest

(0, 6)       <= This can't be possible

The ones labled "This is the largest" are the correct ones
