5 Aaron wants to draw rectangles that each have an area of 36 square inches.

The length and width of each rectangle are whole numbers of inches.

OK, we have Area=L×W where area is 36 and L and W are whole numbers, aka non-negative integers.

36=LW

a. A rectangle can have a width of 3 inches.

Sure, L=36/W = 36/3=12, a whole number.  True

b. A rectangle can have a length of 8 inches.

W=36/L=36/8=9/2, not a whole number.  False

C. A rectangle can have a length of 18 inches and a width  of 2 inches.

Sure 18×2=36, our area.  True

d. A rectangle can have a width of 6 inches and a perimeter

that is less than 36 inches.

L=36/6=6

It's a square, perimeter 6+6+6+6=24 which is of course less than 36

True

e. A rectangle can have a length of 9 inches, a width of  4 inches, and a perimeter equal to its area.

Perimeters can never really equal areas; they have different units.  Let's just assume they mean they have the same number.

Area is 9×4=36, as desired.  Perimeter is 9+4+9+4=26, not equal to its area.

False

the answer to the expression is 83
