The least possible sum is 10.
The pairs of factors for 24 are (1,24), (2,12), (3,8), (4,6) with sums 25, 14, 11, 10. So the numbers are 4 and 6.
6+4
Answer:3.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Nine is the answer cuz it equals 27 then subtract 2 equals 24
bearing in mind that 9 months is not even a year, but since there are 12 months in a year, then 9 months is really 9/12 years.


Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w
68 = 2L + 2w
68 - 2L = 2w
2(34 - L) = 2(w)
34 - L = w
********************
Area (A) = L * w
240 = L (34 - L)
240 = 34L - L²
L² - 34L + 240 = 0
(L - 10)(L - 24) = 0
L = 10 or L = 24
w = 34 - L = 34 - 10 = 24 or w = 34 - 24 = 10
Answer: width = 10, length = 24 assuming length is bigger than the width
