Thomas drew a rectangle with an area of 6 square centimeters. what is the greatest possible perimeter for the rectangle ?

Since the area of the rectangle is 6 square centimeters, you just think of multiples of 6. These multiples will give possible lengths for the rectangle. Possible multiples include: 1&6 2&3 Then you just find the perimeter of the rectangle with your possible side lengths So let's start with: 1&6 So two of the side lengths are 1 And the other two side lengths are 6 So you would just find the sum of the four side lengths to find the perimeter 1 + 1 + 6 + 6 = 14 Now let's try 2&3 Two of the side lengths are 2 The other two side lengths are 3 Now to find the perimeter just add up the four side lengths 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 =10 Now compare the two perimeters Which is bigger? 14? Or 10? Since fourteen is bigger than the greatest possible perimeter for the rectangle is 14cm

The year before the 10s so it was like when caveman were alive
