A rectangle has an area 18sq cm.id its length and width are wjole numbera.what is its greatest possible perimeter
1 answer:
Answer:
38cm
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The perimeter of a square can be found with the formula
2. Since its length and width are whole numbers, it must be either
1 x 18,
2 x 9 or
3 x 6
3. Using the formula in step 1, we can found that the perimeter in these cases are
38
22
18
respectively
4. Compare those perimeter we found in previous step, it's obvious that the greatest is 38. Solved.

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of falling NOT in the shaded region is "area of white region" <em>divided by</em> "area of whole rectangle (big one)".
<u>Area of whole rectangle:</u>
Area of rectangle = length * width = 10 * 5 = 50
<u>Area of White Region:</u>
First, area of shaded region = length * width = 4 * 2 = 8
Now,
Area of white region = area of whole rectangle - area of shaded rectangle
Area of white region = 50 - 8 = 42
Hence, probability is
0.84 = 84%
Answer choice D is right.
