A rectangle has a perimeter of 20 inches and an area of 24 square inches. What are the length and width of the rectangle?
5 inches x 4 inches
4 inches x 6 inches
6 inches x 3 inches
3 inches x 8 inches

Respuesta :

Answer:

Length = 6in

Width = 4in

The formula for solving the perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2(L+W)

The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is:

A = L x W

If we substitute our values, we will get:

P = 2(6 + 4)

P = 2(10)

P = 20in

A = 6 x 4

A = 24in²
