The way to do this mathematically is by incorporating the Order of Operations.(Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally) This stands for (do first:) Parenthesis, then exponents, after that multiplication, now division, then addition, and finally subtraction. The side on the right then equals -5 while the side on the right equals -6. The greater value is the left side. If you have any other questions, just ask me!
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.
