23.21 is the answer i believe
"Factors" just means numbers in the context of multiplication - so we just need to name a pair of numbers that, when multiplied, give 8.
Those would be: 1 and 8
2 and 4
so there are two solution to this question: 1 and 8, 2 and 4!
we can also include negative numbers:
-1 and -8
-2 and -4
because a multiplication of two negative numbers gives a positive result!
w + 4
------------------------
l l
l l w
l l
------------------------
Perimeter would be the sum of all the sides so: (w+4) + w + (w+4) + w
Perimeter is 60 yards according to your problem so: (w+4) + w + (w+4) + w = 60 yds
1.Simplify/combine like terms:
w + 4 + w + w + 4 + w =
4w + 8 =
Now it's a 2-step algebra equation
4w + 8 = 60
2.Subtract 8 on both sides
4w = 56
3.Divide both sides by 4
w = 14
The first choice is right, area of 1 is 20, area of 2 is 16
