A rectangle has an area of 0.24 of a square. What are some possibility for the length and width of the rectangle? Tell why

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

<h3>The possibilities of length and width of the rectangle are </h3><h3>x=1, y=0.24;</h3><h3>x=0.5, y=0.48;</h3><h3>x=0.25, y=0.96;</h3><h3>x=2, y=0.12</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the area is 0.24 square meter

The area of a rectangle is given by

$Area=length\times width$ square units

Let x be the length and y be the width.

Since the area is 0.24 square meter, we have the equation:

$Area=x\times y = 0.24$ , with x and y measures in meters

If we want to know some possibilities of x and y, we can assume a value for one of them, and then calculate the other one using the equation.

Now choosing some values for "x", we have:

Put x = 1

$1\times y = 0.24$

∴ y = 0.24

Now put x = 0.5 we get

$0.5\times y = 0.24$

∴ y = 0.48

Put x = 0.25

$0.25\times y = 0.24$

∴ y = 0.96

Put x = 2

$2\times y = 0.24$

∴ y = 0.12
