Question

The length of a rectangle is 24 units. Can the perimeter P of the rectangle be 60 units when its width w is 11 units?

Answer 1

We are given length of the rectangle = 24 units.

Width of the rectangle = 11 units.

We know, the formula for periemter of the rectangle as following

P = 2 * length + 2* width.

Let us plug values length = 24 units and width 11 units. We get

P = 2*24 + 2*11

P = 48 +22

P = 70 units.

We got perimeter of 70 units for length 24 units and width 11 units of the rectangle.

So, when its width w is 11 units with the length 24 units, the perimeter P of the rectangle can not be 60 units.
