Basic Mathematics QUESTION #7971
Question 1
One side of a rectangle is 22 feet. Which of the following could be the perimeter of the rectangle?
  • 28 feet
  • 33 feet
  • 44 feet
  • 54 feet✔️
Correct Answer Explanation
Perimeter \(= 2(l + w)\). If one side \(= 22\), then perimeter \(= 2(22 + w)\). This must be greater than \(2 \times 22 = 44\) feet (as \(w > 0\)) and must be even. From the options, 54 is the only value \(> 44\) and achievable: \(54 = 2(22+5) \Rightarrow w = 5\) ✓
