Question

The length of a rectangle is 24 units. Can the perimeter x of the rectangle be 60 units when its width y is 11 units? (1 point)

Answer 1

The first choice is correct. No, the rectangle cannot have x=60 and y=11 because x=48+2y.

Perimeter is x=2w+2y. Therefore x=2(24)+2(11) which equals 70 not 60.
