Question

Find the length and width of 4 different rectangles such that each rectangle has an area of 24 square units. Write the length and width of each rectangle in the table. Then find the perimeter of each rectangle and record it in the table.

Answer 1

If a is the length and b the width, then we should have: a×b=24.

The perimeter p=2(a+b)

1) a=24, b=1, p=2×25=50

2) a=12, b=2, p=2×14=28

3) a=8, b=3, p=2×11=22

4) a=6, b=4, p=2×10=20
