Is It Possible For A Rectangle With A Perimeter Of 50 Cm To Have An Area Of 150 Cm?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    No, and yes.
    No, because area is not measured in cm, it is measured in cm^2.

    Yes, because the largest rectangle with that perimeter will be a square 12.5 cm on each side. That square will have an area of (12.5 cm)^2 = 156.25 cm^2, larger than your requirement of 150 cm^2.

    Your rectangle will be 10 cm by 15 cm.
