Ross Moss · Answer 1

Yes, because P = 2x + 2 (12)

Damian Pena · Answer 2

No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 18 because x + y is less than 60

No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 18 because x + y is less than 24

Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 12 + 2y

Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 24 + 2y
