Question 19 • Transition Mathematics for Seniors

The perimeter of a rectangle is 16 inches. The equation that represents the perimeter of the rectangle is 2 l plus 2 w is equal to 16 , where l represents the length of the rectangle and w represents the width of the rectangle. Which value is possible for the length of the rectangle?

Answer
A
10 in.
B
9 in.
C
7 in.
D
8 in.

Explanation

Divide the perimeter equation, 2l + 2w = 16, by 2 to get l + w = 8. Since the width must be greater than 0, the length must be less than 8 inches. Therefore, 7 inches is possible; with that length, the width would be 1 inch.
