Question 48

A rectangle has a perimeter of 24 centimetres, and its length is exactly twice its width. Select all the statements that are true about this rectangle.

  1. The width is 4 centimetres.Correct answer
  2. The length is 8 centimetres.Correct answer
  3. The width is 8 centimetres and the length is 4 centimetres.
  4. The width is 6 centimetres and the length is 12 centimetres.

Explanation

Half the perimeter is 12 cm and holds one width plus one length, so with the length twice the width those 12 split into 4 and 8. Treating the half-perimeter of 12 cm as the length and halving it for the width produces 6 and 12, a pair whose perimeter would come to 36 cm.
