How many different rectangles are there, whose perimeters are 24 cm
How many different rectangles are there, whose perimeters are 24 cm, and the lengths of the sides are expressed in whole numbers of centimeters?
The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the length and width of the rectangle multiplied by two.
The perimeter of a rectangle can be the same for rectangles that have different values for the length and width of the rectangle.
1). Find the number of different rectangles with a perimeter of 24 centimeters.
a) The sides of the rectangle are 1 cm and 11 cm.The perimeter is (1 + 11) * 2 = 24 cm.
b) 2 cm and 10 cm.Perimeter = (2 + 10) * 2 = 24 cm.
c) 3 cm. and 9 cm. Perimeter = (3 + 9) * 2 = 24 cm.
d) 4 cm. and 8 cm. Perimeter = (4 + 8) * 2 = 24 cm.
e) 5 cm and 7 cm.The perimeter is (5 + 7) * 2 = 24 cm.
f) 6 cm and 6 cm. Perimeter = (6 + 6) * 2 = 24 cm.
