Answer:

The correct answers are with side lengths 1 feet and 8 feet, the perimeter is 18 feet; and with side lengths 2 feet and 4 feet, the perimeter is 12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangular banner is 8 square feet.

The side lengths of this rectangular banner are whole numbers.

Thus the possible pairs of side lengths that would give 8 when multiplied with each other are (1 , 8) ; (2 , 4).

So the possible side lengths are 1 feet and 8 feet or 2 feet and 4 feet.

The perimeter when the side lengths are 1 feet and 8 feet are 18 feet.

The perimeter when the side lengths are 2 feet and 4 feet are 12 feet.
