Answer:
For number 5, it is D
For number 6, it is A
Step-by-step explanation:
For number 5, we have the dimensions options here.
We first need to check to see if all the choices give the perimeter of 34, as sometimes there are trick answers.
We know the 34 is the perimeter because we are looking for area, so we add the two given numbers and double it to find the perimeter since we have the length and width.
*(Formula for perimeter is 2(L + W) )
(I already checked them all, and they all give to be 34 so they are all safe.)
Then we find the areas of each.
*(Formula for area is L * W {the " * " symbol represents multiplication.)
We multiply 12 by 5 to get 60.
We multiply 13 by 4 to get 52.
We multiply 10 by 7 to get 70.
We multiply 9 by 8 to get 72.
Since we are looking for the greatest area, we look for the greatest number, which is the 72.
Therefore the 9 by 8 option, or D is correct.
For number 6, we are looking for the minimum perimeter and we have the area, so we set the same thing up except modified slightly.
We first check if all the areas are 64 to look for a trick answer.
We multiply 8 by 8 to get 64.
We multiply 1 by 64 to get 64.
We multiply 6 by 6 to get 36. (WHAT?!!?!! omg me big brain lolza. {nah jk})
We multiply 32 by 2 to get 64.
So we know the 6 by 6 option or C is wrong.
Then we look for the perimeters of the dimension solutions.
(This will skip C so it will go A, B, and then D, since we know C is incorrect and is unrelated now.)
2 ( 8 + 8 ) = 32
2 ( 1 + 64 ) = 130
2 ( 32 + 2 ) = 68.
Since we are looking for the smallest perimeter, it is the smallest answer this time.
So it must be A, since 32 is the smallest.
Hope this helps!
