Answer: Length = 15, Width = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
L = length
W = width
L = W+ 3
perimeter = 2L + 2W
54 = 2(W+3) + 2W
54 = 2W + 6 + 2W
54 = 4W + 6
54 - 6 = 4W
48 = 4W
W =
W = 12
now to find the length, plug the width into the equation L = W + 3
length:
L = W+3
L=12 +3
L = 15
Part A
Since order matters, we use the nPr permutation formula
We use n = 12 and r = 8
There are a little under 20 million different permutations.

============================================================
Part B
In this case, order doesn't matter. We could use the nCr combination formula like so.
We have a much smaller number compared to last time because order isn't important. Consider a group of 3 people {A,B,C} and this group is identical to {C,B,A}. This idea applies to groups of any number.
-----------------
Another way we can compute the answer is to use the result from part A.
Recall that:
nCr = (nPr)/(r!)
If we know the permutation value, we simply divide by r! to get the combination value. In this case, we divide by r! = 8! = 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 40,320
So,
Not only is this shortcut fairly handy, but it's also interesting to see how the concepts of combinations and permutations connect to one another.
