Answer:

i think its A

Step-by-step explanation:

if its not I'm sorry- um i think this cuz in the first figure where it says 8 its the same height side to side same thing with the 12. the second shape is also doing the same thing. really only thing that differes is the size. the second image is like a smaller version of the first one.

Answer:

The largest rectangular space is $24m^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a 20m long wire fence, implies that the perimeter of the fence has been given, because Perimeter can be defined as the length of the boundary of a figure (in this case, a rectangle)

So, from the formula: Perimeter = 2 (L + B) = $20m^{2}$

We have that L + B = $10m^{2}$

The possible values of L and B are:

(L, B) = (9, 1), (8, 2), (7, 3) and (6, 4).

The areas of the rectangle that will be formed using these values are respectively; $9m^{2}$ , $16m^{2}$ , $21m^{2}$ and $24m^{2}$ , the largest area of which is the last which corresponds to the values (6, 4).
