The width of a rectangle is 12 units. can the perimeter x of the rectangle can be 60 units when its length y is 18 units?

here are the answer choices.

no, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 18 because x + y is less than 60
no, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 18 because x + y is less than 24
yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 12 + 2y
yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 24 + 2y

Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 24 + 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of a rectangle is 12 units.

Length=y

Perimeter=x

Perimeter of rectangle= 2×width+2×Length

                                    = 2×12+2y

Hence, x=24+2y

Also, when y=18

x=60 units

Hence, the correct option is:

Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 24 + 2y

your answer is 228

step-by-step explanation:

add the top and bottom bases together, then divide them by 2, then multiply by the height.
