Question

1. The perimeter of a piece of paper is 18 cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) length = 3 and width = 6

Area of the rectangle = 3 × 6 = 18 cm²

b)  length = 7 and width = 2

Area of the rectangle = 7 × 2 = 14 cm²

c)  length = 5 and width = 4

Area of the rectangle = 5× 4 = 20 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given perimeter of the paper = 18 cm

we know that the paper has a rectangle shape

The perimeter of the rectangle = 18 cm

 2( l + w ) = 18

a)

we choose length = 3 and width = 6

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2( 3+6) = 18 cm

Area of the rectangle = 3 × 6 = 18 cm²

b)

we choose length = 7 and width = 2

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2( 7+2) = 18 cm

Area of the rectangle = 7 × 2 = 14 cm²

c)

we choose length = 5 and width = 4

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2( 5+4) = 18 cm

Area of the rectangle = 5× 4 = 20 cm²
