<h3>Answer: Choice A) </h3><h3>The circumference of one of the circles would be greater than the longer side of the rectangle</h3>
=============================================
Why this is the answer:
The rectangle has 3 circles packed inside it each with the same radius r. The diameter of each circle is 2r, so 3 of them result in a total rectangle length of 3*2r = 6r.
While one circle has a circumference of C = 2*pi*r = 2*3.14*r = 6.28r
Comparing 6.28r and 6r, we see that 6.28r is larger than 6r
6.28r > 6r
6.28 > 6 ... dividing both sides by r (the inequality sign doesn't change because r > 0)
