The answer you are looking for is C
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the square has an area of 49 ft^2, then the length of one of its sides is
s = √(49 ft^2) = 7 ft, and its perimeter is P = 4(7 ft) = 28 ft.
As for the rectangle: let W and L represent the width and length, respectively. Then W*L = 24 ft^2 is the area. L = W + 2 ft. Therefore,
W(W + 2) = 24, or W^2 + 2W - 24 = 0, or (W +6)(W - 4) = 0. Thus, W = 4 ft.
The perimeter of this rectangle is P = 2W + 2L, or
P = 2(4 ft) + 2(6 ft) = 24 ft.
The square has the larger perimeter: It is 28 ft.
Would have to be C due to all the other numbers not adding up to be a right angle
