Question: 143
1. The area of a rectangle is 64 cm2.
Note: Figures not drawn to scale.
- A. The quantity in Column A is greater.
- B. The quantity in Column B is greater.
- C. The two quantities are equal.
- D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
The answer is D
A rectangle with a given area can have several perimeters. The smallest perimeter is generated when the length and width are as close together in value as possible. In this case, all four sides can be 8, which would yield a perimeter of 32. Because the perimeter can be 32 (Column B) or larger than 32, the relative size of the columns cannot be determined.
