Q:

How many rectangles can be drawn with 36 cm as the perimeter, given that the sides are positive integers in cm?

A) 8 B) 9
C) 10 D) 11
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 9

Explanation:

Perimeter = 36


⇒ 2 ( l + w ) = 36


⇒ l + w = 18


Since length and width are positive integers in centimeters.

Therefore, possible dimensions are :


( 1, 17 )cm , ( 2, 16 ) cm , ( 3, 15 ) cm, (4 , 14) cm, ( 5,13) cm, ( 6, 12) cm , ( 7, 11) cm, ( 8, 10 ) cm, ( 9, 9) cm.


Hence, there are 9 rectangles.
