draw a rectangle in the following grid that has a perimeter of 14 units and an area of 12 square units

are the sides decimal?

width x

length y

then xy = 12 and
x+y = 7

Numbers are easy enough to guess,
x = 3
y = 4

To draw a rectangle with a perimeter of 14 units and an area of 12 square units on a grid, follow these steps:

1. Start by drawing a rectangle shape on your grid.

2. Let's assume the length of the rectangle is x units and the width is y units.

3. The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding up the lengths of all its sides. In this case, we have two equal sides of length x and two equal sides of length y. Therefore, the perimeter is given by 2x + 2y.

4. We are given that the perimeter is 14 units. So, we can write the equation as 2x + 2y = 14.

5. Simplify the equation by dividing both sides by 2, which gives us x + y = 7.

6. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. In this case, the area is xy, and we are given that it is 12 square units.

7. Write the equation for the area as xy = 12.

Now, we have two equations:
x + y = 7 (from the perimeter)
xy = 12 (from the area)

To find the dimensions of the rectangle, we can solve these equations simultaneously.

We can use substitution or elimination method to solve these equations and find the values of x and y. Once you find the values, you can draw a rectangle on the grid with the calculated dimensions.

Alternatively, you can also plug in different values for x and y (such as 1, 2, 3, etc.) and see if they satisfy both equations. If the pair of values satisfies both equations, you can draw a rectangle with those dimensions on the grid. Repeat this process until you find a valid pair of dimensions.
