The length of a rectangle is 24 units. Can the perimeter x of the rectangle be 60 units when its width y is 11 units? (1 point)
No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 11 because x = 48 + 2y
No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 11 because x = 24 + 2y
O O O
Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 11 because x + y is greater than 48
Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 11 because x + y is greater than 24

Respuesta :

The first choice is correct. No, the rectangle cannot have x=60 and y=11 because x=48+2y.

Perimeter is x=2w+2y. Therefore x=2(24)+2(11) which equals 70 not 60.
