Answer: kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Area of rectangle = 120 cm²
Assume ; Length and width are whole numbers
Possible dimension of the rectangle will be :
Area of a rectangle = Length × width
Area = 120cm²
Possible dimensions :
80cm by 1 cm
40cm by 2cm
20cm by 4cm
10cm by 8cm
5cm by 16cm
Possibility which gives the smallest perimeter :
Dimension = 10cm by 8cm
Perimeter of Rectangle = 2(length + width)
Perimeter of Rectangle :
= 2(10 + 8)cm
= 2(18)cm
= 36cm
