6 cats/kittens were adopted.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Number of cats/kittens at the event = 44
Number of cats/kittens adopted = x
Number of cats/kittens returned = Twice returned as adopted = 2x
New total = 50
We will subtract the adopted and add the returned cats/kittens.
Total cats/kittens at event - adopted + returned = New total
6 cats/kittens were adopted.

Answer:
7. d. l = 6.48 cm, w = 6.48 cm
8. d. square
Step-by-step explanation:
For a given area, the perimeter can always be shortened by reducing the length of the long side and increasing the length of the short side. When you get to the point where you can't do that, then you have the minimum perimeter. You will reach that point when the sides are the same length: the rectangle is a square.
__
7. In light of the above, the best dimensions are √42 ≈ 6.48 cm for length and width.
__
8. In light of the above, the shape is a square.
_____
The attached graph shows the length of one side (x) and the associated perimeter. The other side is 42/x, which will also be 6.48.
