tHE AREA OF A RECTANGLE IS 24CM2 IF THE LENGTH OF THE SIDES ARE WHOLE NUMBERS WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE .EXPLAIN
A:16CM,8CM
B:12CM,2CM
C:6CM,4CM
D:3CM,8CM,
When you multiply the two numbers in each of the possible answers, which product does NOT equal 24?
i don't now
To find the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply the length and width of the rectangle. In this case, the area is given as 24cm^2 and we want to find which of the given options would not be possible.
Let's calculate the area for each option:
A: 16cm x 8cm = 128cm^2
B: 12cm x 2cm = 24cm^2
C: 6cm x 4cm = 24cm^2
D: 3cm x 8cm = 24cm^2
Now we can see that all of the given options have an area of 24cm^2, except for option A which has an area of 128cm^2.
Therefore, option A: 16cm, 8cm would not be possible as it does not give an area of 24cm^2.
