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:
3. A; 4. C; 5. D; 6. D
Step-by-step explanation:
3. By Pythagorean theorem, x^2=100-64=36, x=6
4. By Pythagorean theorem, x^2=81-36=25, x=5
5. Since the triangle is an isosceles, the other side is 4, so the hypotenuse is 4. (the ratio is 1:1:
by Pythagorean theorem)
6. Like Question #5, the ratio is 1:1: since it is an isosceles triangle, the leg is 8.
