Answer:

3 feet by 7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = 20 feet

area = 21 feet²

If the desk is a rectangle:

perimeter = 2l + 2w = 2 (l+w) = 20

                                    2 (l+w) = 20 , divide both sides by 2

                                          l+w = 10

area = l · w = 21

What numbers we know that have sum as 10 and their product as 21?

l + w = 10

l · w = 21

factors of 21 are 1,3,7

3+7 = 10

3 ·7 = 21

The dimensions of the desk could be 3 feet by 7 feet.

Between the numbers 12,21 27,36 and 45 which of the numbers are visible by both 3 and 9
Westkost [7]
27 and 36


12 is too short to be multiplied by 9, 21 can be multiplied by 3 but not 9 again, 3 can’t go into 45. Which leaves 27 and 36. 3 times 9 equals 27. 3 times 12 equals 36, 9 times 4 equals 36.
