Question

A rectangular table top has an area of 8ft and a perimeter of 12ft.What are the dimensions of the table?

Answer 1

The dimensions would be 96 ft
12 x 8 = 96

Answer 2

Answer:

Dimensions are 2 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Area= a*b=8

Perimeter=2(a+b)=12 => a+b = 12/2. a+b = 6

a+b=6 =>a=6-b

If a=2=>b=4 so 4+2=6 , 4*2=8 and 4*2+2*2=12

If a=4=>b=2 so 4+2=6 , 4*2=8 and 4*2+2*2=12

Dimensions are 2 and 4
