a table has an area of 12 feet and a perimeter of 16 feet. what are the dimensions of the table?

Answer 1

assume this is a rectangular shaped table. Then to find the length and width, you need to use the factors of 12 that add to 16 when doubled.

The numbers 6 and 2 multiplied together gives a product of 12. This would be the correct area of the table. Then if the length is 6 feet and the width is 2 feet for a rectangular shaped table, the perimeter would be 6 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 16 feet.

The length of the table is 6 feet and the width is 2 feet.

Answer 2

The length of the table is 6 feet and the width is 2 feet.
