Answer:

The numbers are 2 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller number would have been 1 less than the bigger number so that if for example the smaller number is 1 and the bigger number is 2, their difference would have been 1-2 = -1

5 is an odd number so if it were to be divided into two integers, one would be more than the other, namely 2 and 3.

If you double-check their difference:

2-3 = -1

Thus, the two numbers are 2 and 3.

Answer:

The perimeter of a shape is the sum of the measurements of all sides. Since a rectangle have equal lengths and widths, you can just add the numbers twice.

So, 15 + 15 + 8 + 8. So the perimeter is 46 cm.
