The are is A=W*L
The perimeter is P=2L+2W
So there is some form of relationship.
A/W=L and P-2W=2L
A/W=L and (P-2W)/2=L
A/W=(P-2W)/2
2A/W=P-2W
2A=PW-2W^2
If you line them up according to the quadratic formula you can have
2W^2-PW+2A=0 where W is the variable equivalent to X in normal circumstances and P and A are set values. There is always a relationship between two numbers, or at least you can almost always create your own relationship. This may seem rather complicated but this is a complicated question and I applaud you for asking something of this sort.
What we want to draw is the half closed interval:
I= [-5, 4) excluding 0,
as the union of 2 different intervals say a and b.
Let a be the interval containing the smallest value.
Then the smallest value of a is -5, and the largest possible value of a is 0, not included, if we want to write a as an interval, without "gaps", or "holes".
So a=[-5, 0)
similarly, b=(0, 4).
Answer: [-5, 4)=[-5, 0)∪(0, 4)
Is this what you want I have the numbers on a number line in order from lowest to highest. If this is not what you are looking for tell me and I will try to help in anyway I can.
B is correct 2x2=4x3=12x3=36
